Swivel Impact Socket for Tight Spaces
The STEELMAN PRO 97890 is a 10mm metric impact socket built for hard-to-reach fasteners where maximum power is required. It suits professional mechanics and serious DIYers who need a 3/8-inch drive tool with a pivoting head. The 9-inch extension provides added reach into deep or obstructed engine bays and chassis areas.
Verify Drive Size and Clearance
Before ordering, confirm that your impact gun or ratchet uses a 3/8-inch drive anvil to match this socket. Check that the 10mm hex size matches the fastener you intend to service. Ensure the work area can accommodate the 9-inch overall length and the head’s ability to pivot up to 30 degrees without interference.
Pinless Joint Transfers Torque Safely
The pinless swivel joint design delivers more usable torque to the fastener than traditional universal joints while eliminating the risk of flying projectiles if the joint fails. Heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel with a black oxide finish handles high impact loads. The knurled shaft allows hand-starting to prevent cross-threading. This product carries California Proposition 65 warnings for cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Does the 97890 socket ship with any extra pieces or do I need to buy a 3/8-inch drive ratchet separately?
The 97890 is a single 10 mm swivel impact socket with a 9-inch extension; a 3/8-inch drive ratchet or impact gun is not included.
Should I pick the 10 mm size or is another metric size available for the same 9-inch swivel design?
This listing covers only the 10 mm version; other metric sizes are sold under different part numbers.
How much does the 30-degree swivel actually help when I am working around obstacles with a 9-inch reach?
The head pivots up to 30 degrees, letting the socket clear obstructions while the 9-inch extension keeps the drive tool away from tight quarters.
