Which is how I know it (I even got one for Valentine\'s Day... a few years ago). A socket is hollow and used for a nut.

BUT Valentín could be right as it is also used in \"Allen Hex socket screwdriver set\" (in which case \"allen\" should be part of the description IMHO)

destornillador para tornillos de cabeza hueca


Explanation:
Aunque por lo general lo que se utiliza es una llave para apretar o aflojar estos tornillos, que se caracterizan por tener un entrante hexagonal o hueco hexagonal en el cual entra perfectamente la llave. Se oponen así a los tornillos de cabeza ranurada, por ejemplo. Uso esta llave con frecuencia en mi bicicleta.

neutral  Anjo Sterringa: I think you mean an Allen key/screwdriver. También lo uso en la bici. Pero siempre es posible que es esto lo que quieren decir (si es de Ikea por ejemplo) pero a "socket" se refiere a un vaso para usar con una tuerca. Normalmente ..

  -> I understand this would be a screwdriver for screws with heads having a profiled hollow (that is the "socket").
