Universal Joint Socket

The TEKTON 3/8 inch drive universal joint socket fits 14 mm fasteners and allows the drive angle to pivot for access around obstructions. It is built for mechanics and DIY users who need to reach bolts in tight engine bays or confined chassis areas where a straight socket cannot align. The tool is new and manufactured by TEKTON for professional and home garage use.

Replaces Fixed Sockets

This universal joint replaces a standard 14 mm socket when the fastener sits at an angle that prevents a direct drive connection. The pivot action lets a ratchet or breaker bar turn the bolt without binding, making the upgrade worthwhile whenever clearance forces the drive off the bolt centreline. It does not suit applications that require a rigid, non-flexing drive for maximum torque transfer.

Installs On 3/8 Inch Drive

The socket presses onto any 3/8 inch square drive ratchet, extension or breaker bar and locks via the standard ball detent. Installation takes seconds and requires no special tools. The most common issue is applying excessive torque at extreme angles, which can damage the joint pins or round the fastener corners if the socket slips.

Questions about this item

What drive size does the 14 mm universal joint socket fit?

The socket has a 3/8 inch drive opening that matches standard 3/8 inch ratchets and extensions.

How do you attach the socket to a 3/8 inch ratchet without rounding the pin?

Align the ball detent on the ratchet with the socket's retention groove, then press straight on until you feel a click.

When should the 14 mm universal joint socket be replaced?

Replace it if the joint binds, the 14 mm hex shows rounding, or the drive square develops cracks.
