What does the "Drive" pertain to? The one I'm looking at is 1/2"

Looky! (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=239)

Just need something cheap for when I need to change a wheel.

Thanks!:tup:

The size of the square shank the socket goes on. Its used for torque wrenches, ratchets, impact guns, etc.

Here's a break-down of the common sizes in a home garage...

Most hand ratchets are 3/8"

The bigger ones like you would use for lug nuts and larger things are usually 1/2"

The small ones and the ones you see with screwdriver style handles are usually 1/4"
