It has been crafted to fit square drive types with a size of 3/8 inch. This socket bit also boasts six points, ensuring adequate grip and control during use.
This product stands out due to its robust construction from heat-treated alloy steel that offers wear-resistance, helping minimize distortion for extended life.
