Blue-Point 3/8 Inch 12 Point Silver High-Grade Alloy Steel Deep Socket

Blue-Point 3/8 Inch 12 Point Silver High-Grade Alloy Steel Deep Socket deep socket is a specialized tool used in mechanical work, particularly in automotive repair and maintenance. Unlike standard sockets, which have a shallow depth, deep sockets are designed with a greater depth to accommodate longer bolts or nuts. This extended depth allows them to reach fasteners that are recessed or located in tight spaces where a standard socket cannot reach.

Deep sockets are typically made of durable materials such as chrome vanadium steel or impact-grade steel to withstand the high torque generated by power tools. They come in various sizes and shapes to fit different bolt heads or nut sizes, ranging from small to large diameters. The most common drive sizes for deep sockets are 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch, with corresponding socket sizes ranging from small to large. Deep sockets are essential for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts working on engines, suspension systems, and other automotive components.
