Description

The Draper Expert 3/8" Drive 12mm Hexagon Ball End Socket Bit is the largest size in the metric range, designed for heavy-duty fastener applications requiring maximum strength and durability. The 12mm dimension is frequently encountered in structural components, large machinery assemblies, and heavy automotive applications where substantial fastening loads are involved. With its 70mm overall length and ball end hexagonal design, this socket bit provides excellent reach into recessed locations whilst offering angular working capability up to 25 degrees from perpendicular. This flexibility is particularly valuable when working on larger assemblies where repositioning components or equipment is time-consuming or impractical. The socket is manufactured from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel, ensuring it withstands the high torque loads associated with larger fasteners. The S2 silicon steel bit undergoes sand blasting to maximise surface grip and fastener engagement, critical for preventing slippage when applying significant torque. A precision-machined knurled ring on the socket body ensures secure handling and control during operation, whilst the chrome plated and polished finish provides outstanding corrosion resistance and facilitates easy maintenance after use in demanding workshop environments. Features and Benefits: • 12mm ball end bit for the largest metric fasteners in the range • S2 silicon steel bit • Chrome vanadium steel hardened, tempered, chrome plated and polished socket • Knurled ring for positive grip Contents: • 1 x Ball End Hexagonal Socket Bits, 3/8" Sq. Dr., 12mm
