Klein Tools 65702 6-point Socket 0.5 in 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 65702 is a standard 6-point socket with a 0.5 inch socket size and a 3/8 inch hex drive. Manufactured from chrome-finished steel, it delivers reliable torque transfer and corrosion resistance for everyday fastener work. At 3.5 inches overall length, this socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions commonly found on service technicians' toolbelts. The 6-point geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads compared to 12-point designs, making it a dependable choice for high-torque applications where fastener contact area matters. It is not insulated and is not tether capable.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work across electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades. It handles 0.5 inch fasteners encountered on equipment panels, conduit hardware, pipe hangers, and mechanical assemblies. The 3/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with compact ratchets and torque wrenches frequently used in tight service spaces. Technicians working in confined equipment rooms or on rooftop units will find the standard length practical for most clearance conditions.
