Well, a few years ago I was right there with you. What I kind of knew was that all those cups were needed for tightening or loosening nuts and well, they should've come in different sizes. And yep. I was right, but I was missing a whole bunch of other info that comes in handy when looking for that perfect socket or wrench set that you need for your job.
The following video will explain to you a great deal about all those ratchets and sockets you get to see when crossing the tool aisle in your favorite tool store. And hey, maybe the next time you need to go look for one of those tools, you will know exactly what you're looking for!

A socket set provides the same functionality as conventional wrenches in a, let's say, compact bundle.
Instead of using a separate wrench for each size fastener, only a separate socket is needed.
The ratcheting mechanism of a socket wrench makes the task of tightening or loosening nuts faster and easier compared to a regular wrench.
Deep sockets are very useful in tight spaces where a conventional wrench wouldn't work.
Arm with the previous information, I present to your these five Husky socket and wrench sets that are top-notch in their category and their great prices make them a must-have in your tool arsenal:
