Gearwrench 80490 3/8 in Drive 12 Pt Metric Socket 14mm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80490 is a 14mm, 12-point standard metric socket designed for 3/8 inch drive tools. Built with a full polish chrome finish, it is intended for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications. The off-corner loading design places force on the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Large hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy toolbox or on a crowded workbench. At 0.984 inches in overall length, this is a standard-depth socket suited for most accessible fastener locations.

This socket is a practical choice for licensed mechanics, fleet technicians, and trade professionals who need reliable metric coverage in the 3/8 inch drive range. The 14mm size addresses one of the most common fastener sizes found in automotive and light equipment applications. It is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches, making it a straightforward addition to an existing socket set.
