The Sunex Tools 316M, also identified by the reference snos038, is a professional-grade 3/8-inch drive, 16mm, 6-point standard impact socket built for demanding automotive and industrial applications. Engineered from high-strength chrome molybdenum (Cr-Mo) steel and treated with a durable black oxide finish, this socket delivers reliable performance and exceptional longevity when paired with impact wrenches and ratchets, ensuring precise fitment and robust durability for demanding tasks.

Key Features

• Professional-Grade Impact Construction: Crafted from chrome-molybdenum alloy steel, this socket is designed to withstand high torque and repetitive impacts, resisting wear, cracking, and distortion common in daily professional use.
• 6-Point Flank-Drive Design: The radius corner design grips the flats of 16mm fasteners, which effectively minimizes rounding and extends the lifespan of both the fastener and the tool, especially valuable on rusted or high-torque hardware.
• Standard-Depth Profile: Its standard depth offers excellent access and control for common 16mm fasteners found on engines, brakes, steering, and undercar components in typical workspaces.
• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: A black oxide finish protects the socket against common shop chemicals and frequent handling, ensuring long-term legibility of size markings for easy identification.
• 3/8-Inch Drive Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with compact 3/8-inch impact wrenches and ratchets, enhancing access in tight engine bays and crowded work areas.

Applications

This socket is well-suited for professional technicians working on European and late-model vehicles, which frequently utilize 16mm fasteners for components such as engine brackets, suspension links, strut hardware, brake caliper brackets, and subframe connections. In industrial and maintenance settings, the Sunex 316M socket is appropriate for machinery assembly, equipment repair, and general M10–M12 fastener work requiring a robust 16mm impact socket.
