Draper Tools Socket - 3/8" Sq. Dr., 16Mm

The 12-point design offers double the entry angles compared to a 6-point socket, making it easier to engage the fastener in tight spaces and reducing the risk of rounding off the fastener head.

It is manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, which is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear.

The Hi-Torq design typically refers to a type of socket wall that engages the fastener on its flats rather than its corners, allowing for greater torque application and reducing cam-out or slippage.

While made of strong chrome vanadium steel, this is a standard socket and not specifically designated as impact-rated. For impact wrench use, impact sockets are generally recommended.

The drive size is 3/8" square drive, meaning it requires a 3/8" drive ratchet, extension, or other tool to operate.

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. For stubborn grime, a degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

It is manufactured and tested generally in accordance with DIN3122 and ISO3315 specifications.

Ensure you are using the correct size socket (16mm for this product) and that both the socket and the fastener head are clean and free from debris. Verify that the fastener is not damaged or stripped.

Check that the socket is fully seated on the fastener. Ensure your 3/8" drive tool is providing a firm connection. The knurled ring is for manual grip; for torque, rely on the drive tool.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild rust remover if necessary. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of protective oil. Store in a dry environment.
