Description

38mm Deep Impact Socket 3/4" Drive 6-Point

Brief Overview

This 38mm deep impact socket is engineered for professional mechanics and technicians working with pneumatic impact tools. The 3/4" drive connection pairs with a 6-point hex profile, delivering reliable fastening performance on larger fasteners common in automotive, industrial, and equipment service work. The deep well design accommodates extended studs and fasteners, making it essential for applications where standard sockets won't reach. Stock this alongside larger 41mm and 46mm deep sockets to cover the full spectrum of heavy-duty fastening requirements.

Key Features

  • 6-Point Hex Profile: Reduces fastener cam-out and distributes load evenly across six contact points
  • Deep Well Design: Extended reach for studs, seized fasteners, and extended applications
  • 3/4" Drive Connection: Compatible with all 3/4" square drive pneumatic impact wrenches and accessories
  • Impact-Rated Construction: Matte black finish and hardened steel construction withstand repeated high-torque impacts
  • Retaining Pin Socket: Integrated detent groove and hole ensure secure connection to the drive—no accidental disconnects during operation
  • Industrial-Grade Finish: Corrosion-resistant matte black coating suitable for workshop and field environments

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Professional-Grade Tool: Justifies premium positioning in your catalog—mechanics expect this quality standard
  • High Turnover Item: Deep sockets are consumable-adjacent in heavy-duty shops; repeat orders are consistent
  • Essential for Impact Systems: Any distributor stocking 3/4" pneumatic impact wrenches must stock complementary sockets—this is a natural add-on sale
  • Competitive Sizing: 38mm fills a critical gap in fastener coverage, especially for modern engine work and transmission servicing
  • Bulk Order Margins: OEM white-label pricing supports healthy distributor margins on workshop orders

Application Context

The 38mm size addresses fasteners on larger engines, heavy equipment, and commercial vehicles. This socket is particularly valuable for:

  • Engine block fasteners and cylinder head work
  • Transmission and transfer case bolts
  • Suspension and axle component assembly
  • Industrial machinery and equipment servicing

The deep well prevents frustration when fasteners are partially recessed or when extended reach is required—a common requirement in modern automotive architecture.

Why Stock This Size

The 38mm deep socket is neither the smallest nor largest in the professional range, but it fills a frequently-used gap that directly impacts shop productivity. Technicians expect to find it when they need it; missing this size forces customers to seek alternative tools or delay jobs. Margin-conscious distributors recognize this as a baseline inventory item for any serious 3/4" impact socket assortment.
