Milwaukee Tool 45-34-8024 3/8 Drive 6 Point Metric Socket

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 45-34-8024 is a standard hand socket designed for 3/8 inch square drive ratchets and wrenches. It features a 6-point geometry that delivers full contact across fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under load. Built from chrome material with a corrosion-resistant chrome finish, this socket is sized to the metric system of measurement. It is a standard-length design suited for general fastener work across a wide range of service applications. Licensed tradespeople and field technicians in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service trades rely on standard sockets like this as daily-use hand tools.

This socket is intended for use with 3/8 inch square drive hand tools including ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The metric sizing makes it appropriate for equipment and fasteners manufactured to metric standards, which is common across HVAC equipment, pumps, electrical panels, and imported mechanical assemblies. At 0.2 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle in confined service spaces. It is not tether capable, so it should not be used in tethered tool programs or elevated work environments where dropped-tool controls are required.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by qualified trade professionals following applicable safety and equipment service procedures. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to prevent slippage. Always de-energize, depressurize, or shut off the relevant system before servicing fasteners on HVAC, plumbing, or electrical equipment. Do not use impact drivers with this standard hand socket unless the socket is rated for impact use.
