Capri Tools

Capri Tools CP53450 3/8 in. Drive Stubby Impact Socket Set SAE 12-piece tool storage

SKU CH-BC18-90FMD

Twelve stubby impact sockets fit tight spaces and store in a spill-resistant tray

  • 20% shorter sockets reach fasteners in tight spots
  • Chrome Molybdenum steel withstands high torque from power tools
  • Manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion better than black oxide
  • 6-point WaveDrive design prevents fastener rounding under load
  • Spill-resistant tray keeps 12 sockets organised in tool chests

Compact 12-Piece SAE Impact Socket Set

This 12-piece SAE impact socket set covers 5/16 in. through 1 in. sizes for 3/8 in. drive tools. The stubby profile is 20% shorter than standard shallow sockets, giving mechanics and DIYers better access in tight engine bays and confined fastener locations. Chrome molybdenum steel with proprietary heat treatment handles high torque from impact guns. A manganese phosphate coating provides military-grade corrosion resistance.

Fits Standard 3/8 in. Drive Systems

Each socket works with any 3/8 in. drive ratchet, breaker bar or impact wrench without adapters. The 6-point WaveDrive geometry grips fastener flats instead of corners, reducing rounding and allowing higher torque application. The included spill-resistant mechanic's tray measures 9-3/4 in. by 3-1/2 in. by 1-4/5 in. and fits most tool chests, keeping sockets organised and preventing loss during transport.

Sustained Impact Durability

Premium chrome molybdenum construction resists deformation under repeated high-torque cycles from pneumatic or cordless impact tools. The manganese phosphate finish maintains corrosion protection even after extended exposure to shop fluids and humidity. WaveDrive contact surfaces distribute load evenly across fastener faces, preserving both socket and fastener integrity during prolonged heavy use. Not suited for applications requiring deep-reach or metric sizing.
