It features a 23 mm socket size with a 12-point geometry, allowing engagement from multiple positions on hex and standard fasteners. The 3\/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets and drive tools common in trade toolkits. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it is built for durability and corrosion resistance. At 2.75 inches in overall length, the deep profile provides the clearance needed to reach recessed fasteners and extended bolt threads that standard-depth sockets cannot access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket suits automotive technicians, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and industrial service professionals working on equipment where fasteners sit deep within a housing, frame, or recess. The 12-point design works on both standard hex fasteners and double-hex fasteners, giving broader utility across mixed-hardware environments. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial service work wherever a 3\/8 inch drive set is in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e23 mm socket size fits common metric fasteners found in automotive and industrial equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point geometry allows engagement at multiple rotational positions, useful in tight quarters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep profile at 2.75 inches overall length reaches recessed bolts and extended studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with chrome-plated finish for strength and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B107.5 standards for hand socket tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style hand socket compatible with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches using a 23 mm metric fastener application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove using a compatible 3\/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the fastener and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener head. De-energize or depressurize any system before working on fasteners in live mechanical assemblies.
