3/8-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This is a precision-engineered deep socket designed for 3/8-inch drive ratchets and impact tools. The extended length (63mm) provides reach into recessed fasteners and tight engine compartments where standard sockets cannot reach. The 6-point design distributes load across all contact surfaces, minimizing rounding and extending tool life on both fastener and socket. Available in a complete range from 8mm to 24mm, this socket covers the majority of metric fasteners found in automotive assembly and maintenance work. For shops building depth into their socket selection, pair this with complementary 3/8-inch drive socket sets to maximize coverage and efficiency.

Key Features

• 6-Point Internal Geometry: Ensures positive engagement with fastener flats, reducing cam-out and preventing rounded corners on stubborn or corroded fasteners
• Extended Reach Design: 63mm length reaches into recessed bolt locations, engine cavities, and tight assembly areas
• Matte Chrome Finish: Corrosion-resistant, durable coating withstands shop humidity and repeated cleaning
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured middle section improves handling and reduces slippage, especially when wearing work gloves
• Precision Machined Construction: Consistent wall thickness and bore tolerances ensure reliable fit with 3/8-inch drive tools
• 14-Size Range: Covers 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 21mm, 22mm, and 24mm

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Volume Potential: Mechanics stock multiple sizes, creating natural repeat orders and bundle opportunities
• Low Return Rate: Precision engineering and proven design minimize customer complaints and warranty claims
• Margin-Friendly: Competitive manufacturing costs support healthy distributor margins on bulk orders
• Essential Inventory: Every professional shop requires deep sockets; this is non-negotiable inventory for credibility
• Bulk Order Efficiency: Standardized specifications across all sizes simplify warehouse management and fulfillment

Socket Profile: 6-point hex
Overall Length: 63mm (consistent across all sizes)
Material Finish: Matte chrome plating

Application & Practical Use

These sockets excel in automotive service bays, transmission work, and engine rebuild environments where access is restricted. The extended length prevents the need for socket extensions (which introduce flex and reduce torque accuracy), making them ideal for precision work on cylinder heads, brake systems, and suspension components. The 6-point design is particularly valuable when working with damaged or recessed fasteners common in high-mileage vehicles.

Why Resellers Choose This Product

Mechanics trust deep sockets for durability and reliability. By offering this range, you position your shop as a complete solution provider rather than a parts-only distributor. The logical size progression (8mm through 24mm) means customers rarely return looking for missing sizes, reducing overhead and improving satisfaction. Stock this alongside individual specialty sockets for premium positioning in your catalog.
