Application & Target User
This Westward 3/8 inch drive SAE socket fits a 1 inch fastener with a 12 point triple square profile. Professional technicians and serious DIYers working on heavy automotive or industrial assemblies will find the alloy steel construction and full polished finish appropriate for high torque tasks. The ASME B107.110-2012 standard compliance confirms suitability for demanding professional environments.
Suitability & Limits
The 1 inch socket size and 3/8 inch drive combination suits jobs requiring substantial leverage on large fasteners. Users needing metric dimensions, a different drive size, or a 6 point configuration for damaged bolt heads should select another tool. The standard depth design does not reach recessed fasteners that require a deep well socket. California Proposition 65 warnings apply regarding chemical content.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Alloy steel material resists deformation when high torque is applied repeatedly during extended service intervals. The full polished finish reduces surface friction and helps prevent corrosion during long term storage and use. The 12 point triple square output engages the fastener securely, distributing stress evenly across the flats to minimise rounding under continuous heavy loading. Standard tool tethering requires a separate accessory.

- 12-point design grips fastener flats securely
- 3/8" square drive fits standard ratchets

Questions about this item
What drive size ratchet do I need for the 3/8" drive socket?
The socket has a 3/8 inch female square drive, so it fits any 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar.
Will the 12 point 1" socket grip the same bolts as my older 6 point sockets?
The 12 point design engages SAE fasteners at more angles, so it works on the same 1 inch bolts and nuts as a 6 point socket.
How can I verify the socket meets the ASME standard after I receive it?
The socket is manufactured to ASME B107.110-2012; the standard marking is typically stamped on the alloy steel body.
