Tekton SIB12206 Impact Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The TEKTON SIB12206 is a 3/8 inch drive impact hex bit socket designed for use with impact drivers and impact wrenches in demanding fastening applications. Built from steel with a manganese phosphate finish, it resists corrosion and reduces glare in the field. The socket accepts a 1/4 inch hex bit with a bit length of 1.16 inches and an overall length of 2.22 inches. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople rely on impact-rated sockets like this one to handle the high-torque output of pneumatic and cordless impact tools without fracturing under load.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work wherever a 3/8 inch drive impact tool is the preferred platform. It is a practical addition to any socket set used for equipment installation, panel work, mechanical assembly, or fixture mounting. The compact overall length of 2.22 inches makes it workable in moderate-clearance environments. The socket is sold individually and is not insulated or non-sparking, so it is intended for standard mechanical fastening rather than live-electrical or hazardous-location work.

Installation Notes

Confirm the drive tool is set to the correct torque and direction before engaging the fastener. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener points on electrical panels or mechanical assemblies. Do not use this socket as an insulated or non-sparking tool near live circuits or in classified hazardous locations. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if worn.
