Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts a 1\/4-inch drive and fits 3\/8-inch fasteners. The standard-length design measures 7\/8 inch overall, keeping it compact for work in tighter spaces. The 6-point geometry reduces the chance of rounding fastener corners compared to 12-point designs, making it a reliable choice for technicians working on stubborn or worn hardware. It meets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for light-duty mechanical service tasks where a 1\/4-inch drive ratchet or extension is used. Common applications include HVAC component fasteners, electrical panel hardware, plumbing fixture work, and general equipment maintenance where 3\/8-inch fasteners are encountered. The standard-length profile fits most open work areas. At 0.03 pounds, it adds minimal weight to a tool kit. Note that this socket is not tether-capable and is not intended for elevated or drop-sensitive work environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point socket geometry reduces fastener rounding on worn or tight hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for durability under torque loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 7\/8 inch overall for compact fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot tether-capable — intended for ground-level or bench service use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/4-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and accessories.
