3/8 Inch Drive 13 mm Universal Joint Socket
The TEKTON SHD18113 is a 3/8 inch drive socket sized at 13 mm with a universal joint for angled fastener access. It suits mechanics and DIYers working in tight engine bays or confined chassis areas where a straight socket cannot reach.
Installation and common issues
The socket presses onto any standard 3/8 inch ratchet or breaker bar and pivots freely to align with the bolt head. Applying excessive torque at extreme angles can round the fastener or stress the joint pin, so keep the drive line as straight as the space allows.
Compatibility checklist
Verify that your ratchet or drive tool uses a 3/8 inch square drive and that the fastener you are turning measures 13 mm across the flats. Confirm there is enough swing clearance for the universal joint body to articulate without hitting surrounding components.
