3/8" Square Drive Thin-Wall Socket – 6-Point, 1-1/2" Length
Reach matching hex nuts and bolt heads where surrounding hardware limits clearance. This thin-wall socket combines a 3/8-inch square drive with a six-point opening for use on correctly sized hex fasteners.

Compatibility & Selection
Match the socket opening to the nut or bolt head’s measurement across the flats. The square-drive size identifies the connection to the tool, not the fastener size.
Check surrounding clearance and exposed bolt length before use. A thin-wall socket improves side clearance but does not provide the additional internal depth of a deep-well socket.
Safety Warnings
Wear eye protection and fully seat the socket before applying force. Do not use a cracked, distorted, or excessively worn socket.
Use with impact equipment only when the specific socket is confirmed impact-rated by its manufacturer. Do not exceed the tool’s rated capacity or use improvised handle extensions.
Garage door springs, cables, drums, and bottom brackets may be under dangerous tension. Do not loosen loaded components; have a trained garage door technician perform this work.
