3/8-Inch Drive 6-Point Long Socket, 9mm

Brief Overview

This 3/8-inch drive 6-point long socket is engineered for professional mechanics and technicians who demand precision and durability in their fastening toolkit. The extended 63mm length provides superior reach into recessed or hard-to-access fastener positions—a critical advantage over standard-depth sockets. The machined 6-point internal geometry ensures a secure, non-slip grip on fasteners, eliminating cam-out and reducing the risk of rounding. Pair this socket with other precision-fit 6-point long sockets to build a comprehensive fastening solution for your workshop or resale inventory.

Why This Socket Performs

The 6-point design is mission-critical in professional settings. Unlike 12-point sockets, the six contact points distribute force more evenly across the fastener's flat sides, preventing the edge-to-edge damage that leads to stripped bolts. The long 63mm profile is not simply a convenience—it's a necessity in modern engine and transmission work, where fasteners sit deep within recessed bores and cavity walls. The knurled grip ensures that even with heavy work gloves or wet hands, the socket remains secure in the user's hand or tool holder.

Closing Statement

Stock this 9mm long socket as a foundational piece of your 3/8-inch drive range. Its precision engineering, extended reach, and universal compatibility make it a non-negotiable item for any professional workshop or reseller targeting serious technicians.
