Socket 3/8'dr 23mm 12pt Crv

Product information

23mm 12-Point Socket Drive Size: 3 / 8 " Drive Type: Square Drive --> The 23mm 12-point socket is a specialized, large-format tool designed to maximize the utility of your 3/8' drive equipment. This size is often required for specific automotive applications, such as large suspension nuts, transmission drain plugs, and specialized industrial fasteners where a high-torque, precise fit is non-negotiable. By utilizing the 3/8' drive platform, it offers a distinct advantage in tight spaces, providing a slimmer profile and lower weight than traditional 1/2' drive tools while still delivering the leverage necessary for high-stakes repairs. The 12-point (double-hex) geometry is a critical feature for efficiency in restricted areas. By offering twice the engagement angles of a standard 6-point socket, it allows you to seat the tool onto 23mm fasteners with only a 30-degree rotation of the handle. This ensures a faster workflow in cramped environments—like deep chassis wells or complex industrial machinery—where a full swing of the wrench is simply not possible. Engineered for professional-grade longevity, this socket is forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel. The alloy is meticulously heat-treated to ensure the socket walls remain rigid and structural integrity is maintained under heavy rotational stress. To combat the harsh conditions of a busy shop, the tool is finished with a mirror-polished chrome coating that resists rust, corrosion, and the buildup of stubborn workshop grease, ensuring it remains easy to clean and maintain. Internally, the socket features precision-machined broaching to ensure a high-tolerance fit on all 23mm fasteners. This design prioritizes contact with the flat sides of the bolt head, effectively distributing pressure and preventing the rounding of corners. Whether you are a professional mechanic handling specialized European vehicle repairs or an industrial technician maintaining heavy equipment, this 23mm socket provides the heavy-duty performance and precision you can trust. Application: • Loosening & fastening of various fasteners. • Contractor • Fabrication • Woodworking • DIY
