SATA SC22206 3/8" Drive Hex Bit Socket 8mm

Key specs include a 3/8" drive, 8mm hex size, chrome vanadium steel body, S2 steel insert bits for high strength, heat-treated construction for durability, chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance, and large etched size markings for quick identification.

A precision fit minimizes slippage and reduces the risk of rounding or damaging fasteners, allowing you to apply torque more efficiently and safely.

It's well-suited for automotive repairs, furniture assembly, bicycle maintenance, and other mechanical tasks that involve 8mm hex fasteners driven with a 3/8" drive tool.

Attach the socket to a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet or torque wrench, ensure the 8mm hex bolt is properly aligned with the socket, apply steady pressure, and turn in the direction of threading. Avoid side loading and excessive impact; use torque control for precision fastenings.

Yes. The chrome-plated finish and durable chrome vanadium construction provide good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for typical shop environments when kept clean and dry.

Yes. It is designed for compatibility with most standard 3/8" drive ratchets and torque wrenches. For best results, use tools within their recommended torque ranges and avoid misalignment or aggressive impact use.

This socket features large etched markings on the body that clearly indicate the 8mm hex size for fast and accurate identification on the job.

S2 steel inserts offer higher torsional strength and durability compared to some standard bits, helping to resist rounding and extending tool life under demanding use.
