Gearwrench 80394S-06 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 12 Mm Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80394S-06 is a 12 MM, 6-point chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general maintenance applications. The 6-point geometry applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy tool tray or socket set. This socket measures 1.81 inches in length and weighs 0.11 pounds, making it a compact and lightweight option for tight-access work.

This socket is suited for automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance, industrial facilities, and field service applications. It works with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 12 MM size covers a wide range of common fastener applications found in engine bays, suspension systems, and general mechanical assemblies. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use.

Key Features

• 6-point off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Large hard-stamped markings for fast size identification
• Alloy steel construction for strength and durability in demanding applications
• Compact 1.81 inch length suitable for standard and moderate access situations

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, torque wrenches, and impact-compatible drive tools in that drive size class.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed mechanics and trade professionals working on fastened assemblies. Always confirm the socket seats fully on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or rounding. Inspect the socket and drive square for wear or cracks before each use. Do not use chrome hand-tool sockets with pneumatic or electric impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
