Tekton SIB12203 Impact Hex Bit Socket 3/8 Drive 3/16 Hex

Product Description

The TEKTON SIB12203 is a 3/8 inch drive impact hex bit socket designed for use with impact wrenches and drivers in demanding fastening applications. Built from steel with a manganese phosphate finish, this bit socket resists corrosion and reduces surface glare in the work area. The hex bit measures 3/16 inch and extends 1.16 inches in length, with an overall socket length of 2.22 inches. It is a single-piece unit suited for installation and service work where hex-head fasteners require the added torque output of impact tooling. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general service professionals will find this socket a reliable addition to a standard impact drive set.

This bit socket fits into 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and drivers. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work involving hex-head fasteners on equipment panels, brackets, and mechanical assemblies. The compact overall length of 2.22 inches suits applications with moderate clearance constraints. It is sold individually, making it a practical option for replacing a single worn or missing socket in an existing set.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool professionals across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades. Ensure the impact driver or wrench is powered off and the battery is removed or the tool is unplugged before changing sockets. Seat the socket fully onto the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact-rated sockets with manual torque wrenches, as the socket geometry is optimized for impact loading.
