Socket 3/8'dr 12mm 12pt Crv

Drive Size: ³/₈"
Drive Type: Square Drive

The 12mm 12-point socket is a high-performance staple for any mechanical toolkit, specifically designed to handle the mid-sized fasteners commonly found in automotive engines, transmissions, and suspension systems. Engineered with a standard 3/8' drive, it provides the ideal balance of torque-handling capability and a compact profile, allowing it to fit onto most common ratchets and extensions for versatile use across various projects.

The 12-point (double-hex) geometry is a critical feature for efficiency in tight quarters. By offering twice the engagement positions of a traditional 6-point socket, it allows you to seat the tool onto a fastener with only 30 degrees of rotation. This makes it significantly easier to work in cramped engine bays or behind brackets where your swing arc is restricted, ensuring you can maintain progress even when space is at a premium.

Durability is a hallmark of this tool's construction, as it is forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel. This industrial-grade alloy is heat-treated to provide maximum strength and resistance to fatigue, ensuring the socket walls won't spread or crack under heavy loads. To protect against the harsh environment of a professional shop, the socket is finished with a mirror-polished chrome coating that resists rust, corrosion, and the buildup of grease and oil.

Inside the socket, precision-machined broaching ensures a high-tolerance, snug fit on 12mm bolt heads. This design prioritizes contact with the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners, which effectively prevents rounding and damage to your hardware. Whether you are performing a complex brake job or assembling heavy machinery, this 12mm socket delivers the professional-grade reliability and precision required for the task.
