40AD-3/8 1/4 In Dr SAE 12-Pt Socket - 3/8 In - Stahlwille

The Stahlwille 01530024 40AD-3/8 SAE 12-Point Socket is a professional-grade tool engineered for demanding automotive and industrial applications. This 3/8 inch socket, featuring a 1/4 inch drive, is designed to provide robust performance and reliable engagement with hexagonal fasteners, especially in confined or hard-to-reach areas.

Key Features

• Professional-Grade Construction: Manufactured from HPQ high-performance steel, this socket offers exceptional strength and durability, built to withstand rigorous daily use in professional environments.
• Enhanced Fastener Engagement: The 12-point (bi-hex) profile provides twice as many engagement angles as a 6-point socket, allowing for easier positioning and quicker engagement on 6-point fasteners, particularly beneficial in tight spaces with limited swing clearance.
• Corrosion Resistance: A chrome-plated finish protects against rust and corrosion, extending the tool's lifespan and maintaining its professional appearance even in harsh workshop conditions.
• Adherence to Industry Standards: This socket complies with DIN 3124/ISO 2725-1, E DIN EN 3709, and ASME B 107.5M, ensuring dimensional accuracy, reliable performance, and interchangeability with other professional tools.
• Optimal Size and Drive: With a 3/8 inch SAE size, it is suitable for common imperial fasteners, while the 1/4 inch drive offers versatility for use with various ratchets, extensions, and other drive tools.

Applications

The Stahlwille 01530024 40AD-3/8 1/4 In Dr SAE 12-Pt Socket is an essential component for professional mechanics and technicians working on a wide range of automotive, industrial machinery, and equipment where SAE fasteners are prevalent. Its 12-point design makes it particularly effective in situations requiring rapid socket placement or when operating with minimal tool access. Common applications include engine compartment work, chassis maintenance, and the assembly or disassembly of industrial components requiring imperial sizing.
