Wera 05003085001 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 3/16 in

Product Description

The WERA 05003085001 is a hand hex bit socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extension bars. Built from chrome-plated steel, this socket accepts a 3/16 inch hex bit and measures 1.375 inches in overall length. It is suited for fastening and loosening hex-head fasteners in confined spaces where direct wrench access is limited. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals keep hex bit sockets like this in their drive socket sets for panel hardware, equipment mounting bolts, and set-screw applications.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive tool setups and is appropriate for light to medium-duty hand-tool applications in both residential and commercial service work. The compact overall length makes it a practical choice for under-panel and tight-clearance fastener work. It is sold individually, making it a straightforward single-piece replacement or addition to an existing socket set.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque to avoid socket or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and do not use impact drivers with hand-rated sockets unless the socket is rated for impact use.
