SATA ST12410SC 3/8" Drive 6 Point Deep Socket 17mm

The 6-point design grips the flat sides of fasteners for better torque and reduced rounding. It uses off-corner loading to minimize damage to fasteners, has laser-etched size markings for quick identification, and features dual SAE and metric markings for easy size recognition.

A deep socket has extra length to reach fasteners that are recessed or located in deep wells. Use it when a standard shallow socket can’t reach the fastener or when you need clearance for longer studs or fasteners.

It’s made from chrome vanadium steel for strength and long life, with a corrosion-resistant chrome finish to resist rust and keep its performance and appearance over time.

It’s designed for 3/8\" drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters, making it compatible with a wide range of common hand tools.

Look for laser-etched size markings on the socket. It also features dual markings for SAE and metric (large SAE and a metric indicator), so you can quickly confirm the size you need.

It’s well-suited for automotive work (such as lug nuts and engine fasteners) and general machinery maintenance, especially when fasteners sit in recessed areas or tight spaces.

Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener, apply steady torque within your tool’s rating, avoid impact loads on non-impact sockets, and keep the drive square to prevent rounding.

Wear eye protection, use the correct size, inspect the socket for wear before use, and keep your work area clean and dry to prevent slips and misloads.

Wipe it clean after use, keep it dry to prevent rust, store it in a dry toolbox, and check periodically for wear or chipping. Proper storage helps maintain its performance.
