## Description

Tekton 3/8 inch drive shallow 12-point sockets are an exact fit for double hex fasteners and also work with hex and square shapes. They're designed to grip the sides and not the corners of the fastener heads, which prevents round-off. The large, die-stamped markings are permanently impressed into the material and optimized for readability.

Review: Good @ 90 ft-lbs - This size was missing from my set. Used it on suspension components @ 90 ft-lbs and did not fail. For higher torques, I'd use a 6 point socket It worked great for my application. Seems like good quality.
Review: Good product. Would buy again. - Solid product. Well made. Nothing negative to note.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is it?**
A: It’s about 2 inches long.

**Q: Which is better 6-point or 12-point socket**
A: All depends on the fastener. U won't be able to tighten a 12 point bolt with a 6 point socket. 
Use 6 point sockets on 6 point fasteners and 12 point sockets on 12 point fasteners. 
U can use 12 point sockets on 6 point fasteners but u won't be able to put any sort of torque to the fastener

**Q: Where are these made?**
A: Tekton is a Michigan company (I live in upper Mi. and prefer their tools for quality)  this socket was made in Taiwan.

**Q: where is the 3/8 22 mm shallow**
A: Yes, to get a deep 22mm I went to a half inch drive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product. Would buy again.

Solid product. Well made. Nothing negative to note.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great grip, got the job done.
*by C***Y on November 15, 2025*

Had two rusted bolts on the axle of a aerator that need two new wheels. A regular wrench would not budge them even after soaking the nuts in WD-40. I ordered this socket because it was 12 points for a better grip. It worked very good gripping the old nut so it didn’t strip and with the help of a pipe on the ratchet handle I had the force and grip to get the old nuts off, put on new wheels and put on new nuts to replace the old rusted ones. Very affordable too.
