3/8" Drive Deep Socket for SAE Fasteners
This Westward socket fits a 3/8 inch drive and engages 3/8 inch SAE hex fasteners. Its six-point hex profile grips the flat sides of bolt heads to reduce rounding. The deep well reaches recessed nuts on long studs. Alloy steel construction meets ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional standards.
Deep Well Capacity and Six-Point Grip
The deep design provides clearance for extended threads where shallow sockets cannot reach. Six contact points distribute torque across the fastener flats rather than the corners. It handles typical automotive and maintenance fastening tasks. Extremely high torque or damaged fasteners may exceed the socket's grip.
Polished Alloy Steel Finish
The full polish finish resists corrosion and wipes clean after use. Alloy steel hardness supports repeated impact and hand-torque applications. No tether point is integrated; an accessory is required for drop-prevention systems. The tool contains chemicals listed under California Proposition 65.

Questions about this item
Will the 3/8" drive deep socket fit my existing 3/8" drive ratchet?
Yes, the female square drive is sized for standard 3/8" drive tools so it engages your current ratchet or breaker bar directly.
How can I confirm the 6-point hex socket is gripping the fastener correctly?
The 6-point hex output contacts the flats of a 3/8" SAE fastener; you should feel solid engagement with no rounding when torque is applied.
Does the box include a tether or only the alloy steel socket?
The package contains the deep socket itself; the manufacturer notes it is a standard tool and an accessory is needed for tethering.
