Gearwrench 84397 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 Inch Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84397 is a 3/8 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving internal hex fasteners in mechanical, automotive, and industrial applications. The socket accepts a 3/16 inch hex bit and delivers torque from a standard 3/8 inch square drive ratchet or breaker bar. Overall length is 1-31/32 inches, with a bit length of 0.22 inches. Constructed from steel and manufactured to ASME B107.33 standards, this socket is built for professional use by mechanics, millwrights, and service technicians who require a compact, reliable hex bit driver in their socket set.

This hex bit socket suits a wide range of service tasks involving hex head fasteners found in machinery, automotive assemblies, HVAC equipment, and general mechanical systems. The 3/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with the most common mid-range drive tools found in professional toolsets. Its compact overall length allows use in moderately confined spaces where a full-depth socket or separate bit and extension combination would be impractical.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the fastener hex recess is clean and free of debris before seating the bit to prevent rounding. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless the tool is rated for impact use. Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener being driven as provided by the equipment manufacturer.
