Milwaukee Tool 45-34-8042 Deep Hand Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 45-34-8042 is a metric deep hand socket designed for use with 3/8 inch square drive ratchets and extensions. Built with a 6-point contact geometry, it delivers solid engagement on fastener flats and reduces the risk of rounding under torque. The chrome finish provides corrosion resistance for long service life in shop and field environments. This socket is intended for professional tradespeople including HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors who require reliable hand tools for daily service work.

This deep socket is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks where standard-length sockets cannot reach recessed or extended fasteners. The 3/8 inch drive size is a common choice for medium-duty applications across HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture hardware, and electrical enclosure fasteners. Its metric sizing makes it compatible with metric fastener sets found on modern mechanical equipment and manufactured assemblies.

Installation Notes

Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not use damaged sockets. Hand tools should be used within their rated load capacity as defined by the manufacturer.
