Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts a 13 mm fastener and measures 0.984 inches in overall length, placing it in the standard-length category. The 6-point hex drive geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener corners compared to 12-point designs, making it a preferred choice for high-torque applications. It carries ANSI and ASME B107.5M compliance and is rated for a lifetime replacement warranty. Automotive technicians, maintenance mechanics, and industrial service professionals are the primary users of this socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for general mechanical service work where a 13 mm metric fastener is encountered. Typical applications include automotive drivetrain, suspension, and engine service, as well as light industrial and equipment maintenance tasks. Its standard length fits most 3\/8 inch drive ratchet handles and torque wrenches without requiring an extension in open-access fastener locations. The tether-capable design allows it to be used in environments where dropped-tool prevention is required, such as elevated work platforms or aviation ground support operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point hex drive reduces contact stress on fastener flats and lowers the chance of slippage under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and allows for easy cleanup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 0.984 inches overall suits the majority of accessible fastener locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTether-capable design compatible with tool-tethering systems for drop-prevention applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ASME B107.5M standards for socket tool performance and dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLifetime replacement warranty covers the socket against defects in materials and workmanship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style 3\/8 inch drive metric hand socket compatible with any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, torque wrench, or extension set using a standard square drive interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure the drive tool is rated for the torque required by the fastener application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Power down any associated equipment and follow applicable lockout\/tagout procedures before loosening or tightening fasteners in electrical or mechanical systems. Do not use impact-rated drivers with this hand socket unless it is specifically rated for impact use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ASME B107.5M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime Replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80381\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEARWRENCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541005336882,"sku":"80381","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/99c24e26f1519ad08f3e4d121dce547c.jpg?v=1785867267","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gearwrench-80381-6-point-hand-socket-3-8-in-drive-13-mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
