Description

3/8-Inch Drive 5-Point Socket for Tesla

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built socket engineered specifically for accessing and removing Tesla fasteners on license plate brackets and electrical connectors. The 5-point (Torx-style) profile matches Tesla's proprietary bolt design, eliminating the cam-out risk you'd face with standard 6-point sockets. If your shop handles Tesla service work or collision repairs, this socket is non-negotiable. For broader Tesla fastener coverage, consider pairing this with complete socket range options that address multiple bolt profiles across the vehicle.

Key Features

  • 5-Point Star Profile – Matches Tesla's specialized fastener design for license plate and connector hardware
  • 3/8-Inch Drive – Compatible with standard ratchets, impact wrenches, and pneumatic tools
  • Chrome-Vanadium Steel – Durable alloy construction rated for impact use and repetitive service
  • Manganese Phosphate Treatment – Corrosion-resistant coating extends tool life in all workshop environments
  • Knurled Grip Band – Mid-body texture improves hand control and reduces slip during manual operation
  • Impact-Rated Design – Black matte finish and tapered body indicate robust construction suitable for power tool application

Why This Matters for Your Business

Tesla service is a growing revenue stream. Standard socket sets leave you reaching for workarounds or risk stripping fasteners. This socket eliminates that problem entirely. At one piece per plastic hanger package, it's affordable inventory to stock—a dedicated Tesla tool that justifies its shelf space through customer confidence and repeat business. Shops advertising "Tesla-certified tools" command higher service rates.

The Bottom Line

This is a specialist tool—not a general-purpose socket. It solves a specific problem that standard sockets cannot. Stock it for Tesla work, upsell it as part of electrical connector service packages, and differentiate your shop from competitors still improvising with standard tools. At this price point, margin is solid and customer perception of professionalism is significant.
