Sk 33316 Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 1/2 in 6-point

Product Description

The SK 33316 is a 6-point impact socket designed for 3/8 inch drive impact tools. It accepts a 1/2 inch fastener and measures 2-9/64 inches in overall length. Built in a universal style, this socket is suited for use with pneumatic, electric, and cordless impact wrenches. Automotive technicians, maintenance mechanics, and industrial service professionals rely on this socket size for general fastener removal and installation tasks where standard hand sockets would not hold up to impact forces.

This socket is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty impact applications in automotive, HVAC equipment service, and general mechanical maintenance. The 3/8 inch drive size fills the gap between compact 1/4 inch drive tools and heavier 1/2 inch drive setups, making it a practical choice for technicians who work in tighter spaces or with mid-range torque impact guns. It fits the common 1/2 inch fastener size found across a wide range of mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• 6-point socket geometry concentrates drive force on fastener flats, reducing rounding on worn hardware
• 3/8 inch drive fits a wide range of impact wrenches and ratchets
• Universal style for broad application across automotive and mechanical service work
• Compact 2-9/64 inch overall length suits confined work areas
• Lightweight at 0.23 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment impact socket for 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets accepting 1/2 inch drive fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any standard 3/8 inch square drive impact tool. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Use only with impact-rated tools — do not substitute standard chrome hand-tool sockets in impact applications. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.
