Klein Tools 65913 6-point Metric Socket 13mm 3/8in

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 65913 is a 13 mm, 6-point metric socket designed for 3/8-inch drive ratchets and extensions. Built from chrome-finished steel, it delivers a snug fit on hex fasteners to help prevent rounding of bolt heads and nut corners during tightening or loosening. At 1.13 inches in overall length, the socket fits into tight spaces while still providing full-depth fastener engagement. It is a standard, non-insulated socket suited for general mechanical and electrical trade work where a reliable hand-tool grip on metric hardware is required.

This socket is appropriate for residential and commercial service work, panel installations, equipment mounting, and any application where 13 mm metric fasteners are encountered. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals commonly reach for this size when working with conduit fittings, equipment enclosures, and structural hardware. The 3/8-inch drive interface pairs with the wide range of 3/8-inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and extensions already standard in most trade toolkits.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket by hand onto a 3/8-inch drive tool before applying torque. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before turning to avoid slippage. De-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NFPA 70E arc-flash safety procedures before using hand tools near live panels or energized components. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
