Key Features
- Extended Reach Design: The extra-long deep profile offers unparalleled access to recessed 5/16" fasteners, commonly found on brackets, clamps, and hardware buried within engine bays, behind accessories, or deep inside chassis and body structures.
- 6-Point SureGrip® Profile: Engineered to engage the flats of fasteners, the SureGrip® drive design minimizes the risk of rounding and slippage, ensuring secure contact and efficient torque transfer with 3/8" drive tools.
- 3/8" Drive Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with standard 3/8" drive ratchets, flex-heads, and extensions, making it a versatile addition to any professional toolkit.
- Precise 5/16" Fractional Fitment: Accurately sized for common 5/16" bolts and nuts prevalent in domestic cars, light trucks, equipment panels, machinery frames, and various electrical hardware.
- Professional-Grade Durability: Constructed from cold-forged high-alloy steel for maximum strength and coated with a high-polish SuperKrome finish, it resists corrosion and is built for rigorous daily use in demanding workshop conditions.
Applications
This extra-long deep socket is ideal for accessing small, recessed fasteners on engine accessories, intricate intake and throttle components, firewall brackets, and under-dash hardware. For undercar and suspension work, its profile is particularly useful for reaching 5/16" hardware positioned within channels, crossmembers, and tight pockets. In industrial, fleet, and equipment maintenance, it excels at servicing long studs and nuts situated inside protective guards, electrical enclosures, equipment frames, and other confined assemblies.
