3/8" Drive 6mm Metric Socket
This Westward 53YT14 socket fits a 3/8 inch drive and engages 6mm fasteners with a 12-point opening. It is made from alloy steel with a full polished finish and meets ASME B107.110-2012 standards. The overall length is 1 inch and the drive type is female square. It is a standard tool that requires an accessory for tethering if needed.
Best for tight fasteners in metric sizes
The 12-point design allows engagement at more angles, which helps when access to the bolt head is limited. It suits mechanics and technicians working on metric hardware with a 3/8 inch ratchet or breaker bar. Buyers who need a different socket size, a 6-point profile for higher torque, or an impact-rated socket should look at other options.
Alloy steel construction under load
The alloy steel body and polished finish resist rounding when turning stubborn fasteners under sustained force. The 12-point geometry distributes contact across the flats rather than the corners, reducing the risk of stripping during extended use. The standard depth provides adequate reach for typical bolt threads without the bulk of a deep socket.

Questions about this item
What drive-size ratchet or breaker bar do I need to turn this 3/8" drive socket?
A 3/8" square-drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench fits the female square drive on this socket.
Will this 6 mm, 12-point socket engage the same fasteners as my older 6-point sockets?
Yes, the 12-point pattern fits standard 6 mm hex heads and also engages 12-point fasteners, giving more angular positions in tight spaces.
How can I confirm the socket meets the ASME B107.110-2012 standard after I receive it?
The full-polished alloy-steel body carries the permanent ASME B107.110-2012 marking required by the standard.
