Verify that your impact wrench or ratchet accepts a 3/8 inch square drive before ordering. The socket is designed to exceed ANSI and DIN standards for impact-rated use on compatible tools.

Questions about this item
Does the Apex UG-M-8MM13 socket arrive ready to use or must a 3/8 in drive ratchet be purchased separately?
The socket is sold individually; a compatible 3/8 in drive ratchet or impact gun is required and is not included.
Is the 13 mm shallow U-Guard socket the only size offered for this 3/8 in drive series?
The product data lists only the 13 mm shallow version; other sizes would be separate part numbers.
What does the ANSI and DIN impact rating mean when the socket is on a 3/8 in impact gun?
It certifies the tool-steel body and urethane cover meet recognised impact standards for powered fastening.
