SOCKET IMPACT 3/8DR 16MMUNIV DEEP 6PT - GearWrench

The GearWrench 84382 3/8" Drive 16mm Universal Deep 6-Point Impact Socket is engineered for professional technicians requiring reliable performance in demanding automotive and industrial applications. This socket combines robust impact-grade construction with a universal joint and deep well design, providing enhanced accessibility and leverage for fasteners in challenging locations. Its specialized design is suitable for use with impact wrenches, offering the durability needed for high-torque tasks.

Key Features

• Impact-Grade Durability: Constructed from chrome molybdenum steel for superior strength and resistance to the high stresses of impact tool use.
• Universal Joint Design: Features a built-in universal joint that allows for an access angle of up to 30 degrees, facilitating work in confined or obstructed spaces.
• Deep Well Profile: The deep design accommodates fasteners on long studs, preventing bottoming out and ensuring full engagement with the fastener head.
• 6-Point Configuration: Provides a secure grip on fasteners, minimizing the risk of rounding off bolt heads and promoting efficient torque transfer.
• Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a black phosphate coating that resists rust and corrosion, extending the tool's lifespan in harsh working environments.
• Clear Size Markings: High-visibility laser-etched and roll-stamped size markings ensure quick and easy identification, even in low-light conditions.

Applications

This impact socket is ideal for professional mechanics and industrial technicians working on a range of tasks. It excels in automotive repair for accessing engine components, suspension linkages, and exhaust systems where fasteners may be difficult to reach directly. In industrial settings, it is suitable for equipment assembly, maintenance, and repair, particularly for machinery with recessed or awkwardly positioned bolts and nuts. Its 16mm size and universal deep configuration make it a versatile addition to any professional toolkit.
