Product Overview
The SATA12301–12318 3/8" Dr. 6-Point Metric Socket is a precision-machined hand tool built to grip and turn metric fasteners securely. The 6-point hex opening maximizes contact with the fastener head, reducing the risk of rounding compared to lower-point-count designs — ideal for automotive, industrial, and general maintenance work. Each socket features a durable chrome finish, with a 25mm overall length across most of the range and 28mm on the four largest sizes for added strength. Available individually across eighteen sizes from 6mm up to 24mm, this metric socket line covers the most common fastener sizes found on international and metric-spec equipment.
Important: These sockets are engineered for manual, hand-tool use only and should never be used on power drivers, pneumatic impact wrenches, or extenders, as this can cause damage or breakage.
Key Features
- 6-point (hex) socket opening — maximum contact surface for a secure grip and reduced fastener rounding
- 3/8" square drive — compatible with standard 3/8" ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions
- Metric sizing — covers common fastener sizes from 6mm to 24mm
- Chrome-finished steel construction — corrosion-resistant with a polished, professional appearance
- Precision-machined tolerances — consistent fit reduces slipping and fastener damage
- SATA lifetime warranty — backed by one of the most trusted names in professional hand tools
