It accepts a 6mm hex fastener and delivers the wall thickness and heat treatment required to handle the torsional stress of impact tools without cracking or rounding. The socket measures 29\/32 inches in overall length, keeping it compact enough for tight-access fastener locations. This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general industrial work where a metric hex-drive socket is needed on a 3\/8 inch drive tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket fits into service environments where technicians are working on metric hardware requiring a 6mm hex drive. Common applications include HVAC equipment panels, automotive assemblies, and light industrial machinery. The 3\/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with the mid-size impact and ratchet tools that most field techs and shop mechanics carry as standard equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive size compatible with standard mid-range impact wrenches and ratchets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6mm hex socket size for metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point design maximizes contact surface and reduces fastener rounding under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 29\/32 inch overall length for access in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt to impact-rated standards to withstand high-torque tool use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLimited Lifetime warranty coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment impact socket for 3\/8 inch drive impact tools requiring a 6mm hex drive socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove using a 3\/8 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque to prevent slippage or socket ejection. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove it from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand ratchets where prolonged flex cycling may cause fatigue cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Limited Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J7206M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540416266546,"sku":"J7206M","price":16.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c56369a075ee754697244d93c26cf314.jpg?v=1785854577","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j7206m-impact-socket-3-8-in-drive-6mm-hex","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
