SOCKET 3/8'DR 13MM 12PT CRV

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

The 13mm 12-point socket is a foundational tool for any mechanical repair, widely recognized as one of the most frequently used sizes in automotive, plumbing, and industrial maintenance. Designed with a versatile 3/8' drive, it provides the ideal balance of torque-handling capability and a compact profile, allowing it to interface perfectly with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches for a broad range of high-demand tasks.

The 12-point (double-hex) internal geometry is a critical advantage when working in the cramped, obstructed environments typical of modern engine bays. By offering twice the engagement angles of a standard 6-point socket, it allows you to seat the tool onto a fastener with just 30 degrees of rotation. This makes it significantly easier to find a grip in tight spots where your handle's swing arc is severely restricted, ensuring you can keep moving forward even when space is at a premium.

Forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel, this socket is engineered for maximum durability and professional-grade performance. The high-strength alloy is heat-treated to ensure the socket walls remain rigid under heavy stress, preventing cracking or deforming during high-torque applications. To ensure longevity in harsh workshop conditions, it features a mirror-polished chrome finish that resists rust, corrosion, and the corrosive effects of oils and chemicals.

Inside the socket, precision-machined broaching ensures an exacting, high-tolerance fit on 13mm bolts and nuts. This meticulous design prioritizes contact with the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners, which dramatically reduces the risk of rounding off hardware and extends the life of both the tool and the fastener. Whether you are performing routine vehicle maintenance or complex machinery repairs, this 13mm socket is built to deliver the reliability and precision you expect.
