Westward 3/8" Drive 12-Point SAE Socket
This Westward socket is a 3/8" drive SAE hand tool sized at 1/2" with a 12-point internal profile. It is made from alloy steel for general fastening tasks on compatible fasteners. The product is supplied new and carries a California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Suitable for 3/8" drive sets needing 1/2" SAE
Mechanics and DIY users with a 3/8" drive ratchet or breaker bar who require a 1/2" SAE 12-point socket will find this part matches that specification. It also works with corded or cordless drills and impact drills when paired with a suitable socket adapter. Buyers needing a different drive size, metric sizing, or a 6-point profile should look at other options.
3/8" drive 1/2" SAE 12-point specification
The decisive specification is the combination of a 3/8" drive, 1/2" SAE size and 12-point geometry. This triple match determines whether the socket engages the intended fastener and fits the driver. Verify these three values against the job requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How do I choose between the 12-point and other drive configurations for the 1/2" SAE socket?
The 12-point design engages the fastener at more angles, making it easier to fit onto a 1/2" SAE bolt head in tight spaces where a 6-point socket might not align as quickly.
What does the 3/8" drive size mean when I attach this socket to my ratchet?
It means the square drive hole measures 3/8 inch, so the socket fits directly onto any standard 3/8" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench without an adapter.
Can the 3/8" drive handle the torque needed for a 1/2" SAE fastener without rounding?
A 3/8" drive is rated for the torque range typical of 1/2" SAE fasteners; the alloy-steel construction and 12-point geometry distribute load evenly to minimise rounding risk.
