Tekton SHB13200 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 3 Mm

Product Description

The TEKTON SHB13200 is a 3/8 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving 3 mm hex fasteners in mechanical, automotive, and general maintenance applications. With an overall length of 1.9 inches, this compact socket integrates directly with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench. It bridges the gap between a traditional hex key and a socket-drive tool, allowing controlled torque application on hex-head screws and bolts. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers use this type of socket when working in tight bores or on fasteners that require more torque than a hand key can deliver.

This hex bit socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work across trades including HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical maintenance. Common applications include panel fasteners, set screws, machine bolts, and equipment access hardware that use a 3 mm internal hex drive. The 3/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with a wide range of professional-grade ratchets and cordless drive tools already common on service trucks and job sites.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 3 mm hex bit size for internal hex fasteners
• 1.9 inch overall length for compact reach in confined spaces
• Single-piece socket-bit design transfers more torque than a T-handle hex key
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy single-hand use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch drive hex bit socket for use with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, extension, or compatible power tool adapter.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener or damaging the bit. Disengage power tools from the socket before inspecting or changing bits. No special certifications or code requirements apply to hand tool use, but always select the correct hex size to prevent fastener damage.
