3/8-Inch Drive E-Type Short Hand Socket

Brief Overview

This 3/8-inch drive E-type short hand socket delivers precision fastening in applications where space is limited and manual torque control is required. Built from high-grade chrome-vanadium steel, it resists deformation under load and maintains accurate bit geometry across extended service intervals. The knurled collar provides ergonomic hand grip during assembly or disassembly work. For technicians working with other drive profiles, complementary short-reach socket options and extended-length variants are available to complete your toolkit.

Key Features

• Compact Design: 63mm overall length for tight access spaces
• Precision Star Profile: E-type Torx geometry resists cam-out and fastener stripping
• Chrome-Vanadium Construction: Superior durability and resistance to corrosion
• Knurled Grip Collar: Enhanced hand control during manual fastening operations
• Standard 3/8-Inch Drive: Direct compatibility with ratchets, extensions, and pneumatic tools

Business Advantages

This socket fills a critical gap in professional toolkits—E-type fasteners are increasingly prevalent in automotive, electronics assembly, and precision machinery sectors. Stock depth in smaller sizes (E4–E8) drives frequent reorders from service technicians who encounter stripped or lost sockets. The durable construction means minimal warranty claims and long customer retention. Bulk procurement of the complete E-type range (E4–E18) positions your shop as a one-stop supplier for Torx-equipped clients.

Reseller Value Proposition

Margin opportunity exists across the full size range—smaller sizes (E4–E6) move fastest due to higher loss rates, while larger sizes (E14–E18) command better unit prices. Bundle complete size sets for automotive dealers and electronics assembly suppliers. Low inventory footprint relative to 1/2-inch drive variants makes this a high-turnover, space-efficient product line.
