With an 8 mm hex size and an overall length of 1.9 inches, this socket fits standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The compact form factor allows access to hex-head bolts and cap screws in tight engine bays, equipment frames, and structural assemblies. At 0.2 pounds, it is light enough to carry in a service pouch without adding bulk to a tool kit. Mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians reach for this type of socket when fastener heads require a hex bit drive rather than a conventional socket profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bit socket suits residential, commercial, and light industrial service work wherever 8 mm internal hex fasteners appear. Common applications include automotive drivetrain service, HVAC equipment panel fasteners, pump and motor mounting hardware, and general equipment assembly. The 3\/8 inch drive size positions it as a mid-range drive for moderate torque tasks, bridging the gap between 1\/4 inch drive precision work and 1\/2 inch drive heavy-duty fastening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 mm hex bit size for internal hex fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.9 inch overall length for compact reach in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.2 pounds for portable tool kit use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 27111704 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement hex bit socket compatible with 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches using the 3\/8 inch square drive interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and removal of hex fasteners with this socket should be performed using a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque specifications are critical. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive tool and hex fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener head. Disengage power or de-energize equipment before servicing fasteners on live electrical or mechanical assemblies. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.\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\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.9 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111704\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: TEKTON\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHB13208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TEKTON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67906557346098,"sku":"SHB13208","price":20.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f031ef321286da36b4a997db436c9aba.jpg?v=1791169148","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tekton-shb13208-hex-bit-socket-3-8-in-drive-8-mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
