3/8" Drive SAE 11/16" Bolt Thru Socket

Specifications

• Manufacturer: J.H. Williams
• Model Number: {manufacturers_part_number}
• Drive Size: 3/8 inch
• Socket Size: 11/16 inch (SAE)
• Type: Bolt Thru Socket
• Weight: 0.11 lbs

Key Features

• Bolt Thru Design: This specialized design allows threaded rods and bolts of virtually any length to pass completely through the socket. This ensures direct engagement with the nut, rather than the end of the bolt.
• Standard 3/8-inch Drive: Compatible with common 3/8-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches, integrating seamlessly into existing tool sets.
• SAE Sizing: Precision-machined to fit 11/16 inch standard (SAE) hex fasteners, providing a secure and accurate fit.
• Durable Construction: Built by J.H. Williams, ensuring a robust tool designed for reliable performance in demanding professional and industrial settings.

Applications

The J.H. Williams 3/8" Drive SAE 11/16" Bolt Thru Socket is specifically engineered for tasks where traditional deep sockets are limited by excessive bolt or stud length. Its primary uses include:

• Automotive Repair: Accessing nuts on long studs in suspension, exhaust, or engine compartments.
• Industrial Maintenance: Tightening or loosening nuts on lengthy anchor bolts, threaded rods, or machinery components.
• Construction: Working on structural connections, scaffolding, or formwork where threaded rods extend significantly beyond the nut.
• Plumbing and HVAC: Fastening components with long mounting bolts in confined or awkward spaces.

Benefits

• Unlimited Fastener Depth: Addresses the common challenge of socket bottoms contacting the end of a long bolt or stud, allowing full engagement with the nut regardless of bolt length.
• Improved Accessibility: Provides enhanced access to fasteners located in deep, recessed, or otherwise restricted areas where extended bolt lengths would obstruct standard sockets.
• Increased Efficiency: Streamlines fastening and unfastening operations by eliminating the need for makeshift solutions or multiple tool changes when dealing with long threaded components.
• Reduced Stripping Risk: Ensures consistent, direct contact with the fastener, minimizing the potential for slippage and damage to nuts or bolt heads.
• Versatile Tool: A valuable addition to any professional toolkit, solving a specific and frequent challenge across various mechanical and construction applications.
