Milwaukee Tool 45-34-8023 3/8 Drive 6 Point Metric Socket

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 45-34-8023 is a standard-length hand socket designed for everyday fastener work in trade and professional shop environments. Built with a 3/8 inch square drive and a 6-point internal profile, this socket provides solid contact on hex fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. The chrome finish delivers corrosion resistance for tools that cycle through wet or exposed conditions. At 0.2 pounds, it is light enough for extended use without fatigue. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working with metric fasteners will find this a straightforward addition to a 3/8 inch drive set.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where metric fasteners are common. Typical applications include equipment installation and maintenance tasks on HVAC units, pump assemblies, electrical enclosures, and panel hardware. The standard length profile fits most accessible fastener positions without requiring an extension. It is packaged as a single unit and is compatible with any standard 3/8 inch square drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.
