Product Description

Brief Overview

This 3/8-inch drive E-type short hand socket is engineered for precision work with spline-style fasteners commonly found in automotive, industrial, and machinery applications. The short-hand design provides excellent access to recessed or tight-tolerance fastener heads, while the internal 6-lobed E-type profile ensures positive engagement and resists cam-out. The knurled grip band offers controlled handling during manual operation. Whether you're building a professional service kit or restocking a dedicated fastener station, this socket delivers reliable performance across 11 size options. Consider pairing with complementary precision socket variants to expand your E-type coverage across different drive standards.

Key Features

• E-Type 6-Lobed Internal Profile: Precision-ground spline geometry for positive fastener engagement without slipping or rounding
• Short-Hand Design: Compact 63mm overall length maximizes reach into recessed fastener pockets and confined spaces
• Chrome-Vanadium Construction: Durable alloy steel with satin chrome finish resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability
• Knurled Grip Band: Textured non-slip surface for secure hand control during manual socket operation
• 3/8-Inch Square Drive: Standard square drive attachment compatible with ratchets, torque wrenches, and power tools
• 11-Size Range: E4 through E18 coverage for comprehensive spline fastener applications
