3/8" Drive 3/4" Hex Socket

This nonsparking hand socket fits a 3/8 inch drive and engages 3/4 inch SAE fasteners with a 6-point profile. It is made from aluminum bronze and carries FM Approved status to ASTM A342. The unfinished surface suits industrial safety requirements where spark risk must be eliminated.

FM Approved ASTM A342 Compliance

The FM approval and ASTM A342 listing confirm the alloy meets recognised nonsparking standards for hazardous environments. No impact rating is claimed, so the socket is intended for hand use only. Buyers needing impact-rated drive tools or larger drive sizes will need separate equipment.

Questions about this item

Will the aluminum-bronze material wear faster than steel and need replacement sooner?

Aluminum bronze is softer than steel, so the socket will show wear on the 6-point profile and drive square earlier under heavy use.

What is the first limit reached when the socket is used continuously on a high-torque impact gun?

The tool is not impact rated, so the drive square or hex walls will deform before any other factor becomes an issue.
