SATA GL12404 3/8" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 11mm

A 6-point socket offers a more secure grip on hex fasteners and resists rounding better under high torque. Off-corner loading helps prevent rounding at the corners of fasteners during challenging or high-torque tasks.

It’s made from premium chrome vanadium steel and features a chrome-plated finish to resist rust and corrosion, helping maintain durability over time.

The deep design provides extended reach to access recessed fasteners, making it easier to work in tight or awkward spots without removing surrounding components.

Yes. It’s designed for use with any 3/8" drive ratchet, and the 11mm size is clearly marked for quick identification.

Common applications include automotive work (bolts and fasteners around engines and chassis), machinery maintenance, and general DIY projects where recessed fasteners need extra reach.

Keep it dry and clean after use to prevent corrosion, wipe away oils, and store it in a toolbox or organizer to prevent damage. Its knurled edge also provides a secure grip even in oily conditions.

A standard socket sits closer to the fastener and is best for exposed bolts, while the deep socket is longer, offering greater access to recessed fasteners and more clearance in tight spaces.

You can consider other 3/8" drive deep sockets in the same family, such as: SATA GL12405 3/8" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 11mm (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl12405-3-8-drive-6-point-deep-socket-11mm), SATA GL12401 3/8" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 9mm (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl12401-3-8-drive-6-point-deep-socket-9mm), and SATA GL12304 3/8" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 13mm (https://fepy.com/product/sata-gl12304-3-8-drive-6-point-deep-socket-13mm).

The GL1240 series includes multiple 3/8" drive, 6-point deep sockets in different metric sizes. Look for the size marking on the socket (e.g., 9mm, 11mm, 13mm) to match the fastener you’re working with; this guarantees the best fit and minimizes rounding.

Magnetization or other specialty features aren’t specified for this model. The listed attributes emphasize its 6-point design, deep reach, chrome vanadium construction, and corrosion-resistant chrome finish.

Use the correct size to avoid rounding the fastener, apply steady torque, and avoid using impact tools beyond the socket’s intended use if not specified as impact-ready. Keep the workspace clean to prevent slippage and potential injury.
