Building to deliver high-torque performance without the high price.

Extend Your Capability

Power. Reach. Reliability. Built Into Every Socket.

From high-torque strength to extended lengths and real-world durability, TorqueBuddy delivers professional-grade performance trusted by structural riggers on site.

Unmatched Strength & High-Torque Precision

Each TorqueBuddy socket is forged for serious torque: phosphate-finished, heat-treated, and built to outperform traditional impact sockets under extreme site conditions. Designed for professional riggers who demand reliability and power with every turn.

Extended Length for Every Job

Harness power of artificial intelligence No more makeshift extensions or welded sockets. TorqueBuddy’s engineered lengths - up to 500mm - are purpose-built to reach hold-down bolts in deep or hard-to-access locations, giving you the confidence to tackle any project safely and efficiently.

Trusted by Riggers, Built for the Trade

Designed alongside structural riggers and tested on real job sites, TorqueBuddy isn’t theory - it’s a tool built from the ground up for professionals who build Australia’s infrastructure. Real-world input. Real-world performance.

Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Our FAQ section covers everything you need to know, including deep sockets, extended sockets, impact socket safety, and sizing standards.

1. What is a long socket?

A long socket (also called a deep socket) is a socket designed with extra length so it can reach nuts seated deeper inside assemblies or on long threads.

2. What’s the difference between a long socket and a deep sockets set?

A deep sockets set includes multiple deep or long sockets in different sizes, whereas a long socket refers to a single extended socket.
Deep socket sets are commonly used in automotive work, while long single sockets are often designed for specialty structural applications like the ones in your document.

3. What are the main types of sockets?

There are several types of sockets used across automotive and industrial applications:

  • Deep well sockets – Longer profile for long or recessed bolts

  • Impact sockets – Thick-walled, heavy-duty sockets for impact wrenches

  • Spark plug sockets – Long sockets with rubber inserts to protect plugs

  • Shallow sockets – Ideal for tight spaces

  • Hex sockets (6-point / 12-point) – Most common for hex-headed fasteners

  • Pass-through sockets – Hollow design for bolts that protrude past the nut

  • Universal/Flex sockets – Swivel design for 360° access in tight spaces

4. Are deep sockets more likely to break?

Deep sockets themselves are not more “breakable,” but regular chrome deep sockets can fail under impact loads.
Impact deep sockets have walls ~50% thicker, making them suitable for high-torque impact tools.

5. What is the purpose of deep sockets?

Deep sockets reach nuts on long bolts and recessed fasteners. They’re commonly used in:

  • Automotive engine work

  • Machinery maintenance

  • Any application where a shallow socket cannot reach the nut
