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

Overview

This 3/8-inch drive E-type short hand socket delivers precision engagement with external Torx fasteners in confined work areas. The compact 63mm length makes it ideal for electronics assembly, precision automotive work, and applications where space is limited. The knurled grip band ensures confident handling without slipping, even under moderate torque loads. If you need additional size coverage, consider pairing this with other E-type socket variants to build a complete fastener set.

Key Features

• E-Type Torx Engagement: 6-lobed external profile prevents rounding and ensures positive drive contact
• Compact Design: 63mm overall length fits tight spaces and hard-to-reach fasteners
• Chrome-Vanadium Construction: Durable steel resists corrosion and withstands repeated use
• Knurled Grip Band: Centered band provides tactile control and reduces hand fatigue
• 3/8-Inch Drive Compatible: Works with all standard 3/8" ratchets, extensions, and power tools
• Single-Piece Tubular Body: No weak points or internal stress concentrations

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High Demand Category: E-type sockets are essential in electronics repair, automotive diagnostics, and precision assembly
• Size Coverage: Eight distinct sizes (E4–E12) allow resellers to offer complete sets or individual replacements
• Margin Opportunity: Socket sets with multiple sizes command higher retail value than individual units
• Low Return Rate: Precision-engineered design minimizes customer dissatisfaction
• Bulk Order Friendly: Lightweight, compact packaging reduces shipping costs and increases carton density
