GearWrench 82540 3/8-Inch Drive Mid-Length Hex Bit Metric Socket 5mm

The GearWrench 82540 is a 3/8-inch drive mid-length chrome hex bit socket in 5mm metric size. Designed for professionals and serious DIYers, this socket delivers the reach needed to access recessed or hard-to-reach internal hex fasteners that standard-length sockets can't get to.

The mid-length design strikes the ideal balance between the compact profile of a standard socket and the extended reach of a long-length socket, making it a go-to choice for engine, drivetrain, and chassis work. The chamfered female end guides smoothly and quickly onto drive tools for faster, more efficient use.

Key Features:

• Mid-length hex bit for added reach to hard-to-access fasteners
• S2 steel insert bit manufactured to tight tolerances for a precise, secure fit
• Heat-treated alloy steel socket base for lasting durability under heavy use
• Chamfered female end with angled entry guides smoothly onto drive tools
• Hard-stamped size markings for quick, easy identification
• Knurled ring on socket body identifies this as a metric size at a glance
• Bright full-polish chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean easily
• Compatible with standard 3/8-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
