What is the difference between AF, Metric and Whitworth sockets ?

I am looking to buy socket tool kit to do mechanical jobs. Type of sockets available are AF(Accross Flat), Metric and Whitworth. I am not sure which one I require.

It all depends what you plan to do. All new stuff will be metric (assuming you are in the UK). Older stuff will be imperial (AF). I personally recommend a cheaper brand, everything set. There are occasions when nothing seems to fit even on new metric and having the full range allows you to find something. The cheap set also gives you the option to hammer a socket onto that stripped bolt head without feeling guilty.

Go and buy that expensive metric set later when you have some spare cash.

Thank you for looking at our Whitworth Socket site.
