Westward 53YT85 3/8" Drive Deep Socket
The Westward 53YT85 is a 7 mm metric socket with a 3/8 inch female square drive. It is built from alloy steel with a full polished finish and a 12-point internal profile. The deep socket design provides a 2-1/2 inch overall length for reaching recessed fasteners. It meets ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional standards.
Hand tool operation with alloy steel construction
As a manual hand tool, the socket produces no operational noise, draws no power and generates no heat during normal use. The alloy steel body and polished finish resist corrosion and withstand repeated torque cycles. No tether point is integrated, so an accessory is required if drop-prevention is mandated on site.
7 mm 12-point metric socket for 3/8" drive
This socket fits only 7 mm metric fasteners and accepts a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at finer angles than a 6-point design but transmits less torque on rounded heads. Buyers needing imperial sizes, 6-point profiles, larger drive sizes or integrated tether points must select a different part.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 3/8" drive 7mm deep socket onto my ratchet, and what step is often missed?
Press the female square drive onto the ratchet anvil until the retaining ball clicks into the groove; the step often missed is verifying the ball is fully seated so the socket cannot pull off under torque.
What maintenance or replacement will the 12-point alloy steel socket need later?
Inspect the 12-point opening for rounding after heavy use; replace the socket when the flats no longer grip the 7mm fastener securely.
What limit appears first during sustained high-torque use of this deep socket?
The 12-point alloy steel walls will round at the corners before the 3/8" drive square fails, especially when the full 2-1/2" depth is engaged on a stubborn fastener.
