Tekton SHD12110 Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 10 Mm 6-point

Product Description

The TEKTON SHD12110 is a 6-point hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. It accepts a 10 mm fastener and measures 1.2 inches in overall length, making it a compact intermediate-length socket suited for tight engine bays, panel work, and general mechanical service. Constructed from steel with a chrome-plated polished finish, this socket resists corrosion and wipes clean easily. It is sized and built for everyday use by automotive technicians, HVAC service professionals, and maintenance mechanics who need a reliable metric socket in the most common drive size.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive tool sets and is appropriate for both light-duty and general-duty fastener work across residential, commercial, and fleet maintenance applications. The 10 mm size covers one of the most frequently encountered metric fastener sizes in automotive and mechanical service, including engine components, brackets, and electrical system hardware. Its intermediate profile suits a wide range of service scenarios where a shallow socket is too short and a deep socket would be excessive.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic or qualified service technician should confirm fastener torque specifications from the applicable service manual before use. Always disconnect power or shut off the relevant system before loosening or tightening fasteners on live electrical or mechanical assemblies. Use appropriate extensions and universal joints when fastener access is restricted. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
