Part of Our 3/8 Inch Drive Socket Lineup

Our 3/8 inch drive 6-point socket lineup consists of extra-shallow, shallow, semi-deep, and deep sockets.

Our Most Shallow Hex Depth


We designed these sockets to be as shallow as possible while still fully engaging the fastener head, fitting most fasteners with common head heights.



Our Lowest-Profile 3/8 Inch Drive Socket and Ratchet Combination


Using extra-shallow sockets with a non-quick-release small body ratchet provides the lowest possible profile compared to our shallow sockets with a regular 3/8 inch drive ratchet.

Large, Stamped Markings

  • Markings are permanently impressed into the material by a roll-stamp die
  • Sizes are as large as possible while still being readable along the socket's curved surface

Exterior and Interior Finishes

  • The smooth chrome-plated exterior resists corrosion and wipes clean to a mirror finish
  • The interior is protected against corrosion with chrome plating that is supplemented with a clear coat or painted finish where needed for full coverage

6-Point Socket Opening

Provides an exact fit and maximum contact for hex fasteners.

Prevents Fastener Round-Off

Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener’s flat sides, rather than its corners.

Secure Drive Tool Engagement

Four detent grooves provide a secure connection with the retaining ball of a drive tool.

High Torque Strength

Meets minimum value of 1.3 times the ANSI standard for Proof Torque. Verified by a single-cycle test that applies torque until specified value is reached without failure or permanent deformation.
