Socket 3/4" 38 mm, NEO tools 08-312, 6-point drive

NEO tools 08-312 is a 6-point socket with a 3/4" square drive and a 38 mm opening, designed to engage hexagonal nuts and bolts with high contact area. The socket is intended for heavy-duty turning and torque transfer where a 38 mm hexagon is required. It fits standard 3/4" drive ratchets, breakers or extension bars and is suitable for automotive, industrial maintenance and machinery repair tasks.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener corners and improves load distribution on the flats of the nut or bolt. A 3/4" drive gives compatibility with common medium- to large-size hand tools used in professional and workshop environments. The 38 mm size covers a wide range of larger fasteners encountered on vehicle hubs, heavy equipment and structural assemblies.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and suspension nut removal and installation
• Heavy machinery maintenance and assembly
• Industrial equipment servicing and repair
• Workshop toolsets for commercial or fleet maintenance

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4" square drive
• Socket opening: 38 mm hex (6-point)
• Configuration: 6-point socket for hex fasteners
• Intended use: manual and breaker-bar torque applications
• Compatibility: fits standard 3/4" ratchets, extensions and adapters

How to use

Select the 38 mm 6-point socket and connect it securely to a compatible 3/4" drive ratchet, torque wrench or breaker bar. Ensure the socket fully seats on the fastener head before applying force. Apply steady turning force and avoid sudden impacts unless using an impact-rated socket and appropriate tools. After use, clean away dirt and lubricants and store the socket on a rail or in a toolbox to prevent corrosion and loss.

Usage recommendations

Use the socket with hand tools and torque wrenches rated for the required torque; do not exceed tool or fastener torque limits. If impact tools are used, verify the socket is impact-rated or use a dedicated impact socket to avoid damage. Regularly inspect the socket faces for rounding or wear and replace if deformation is observed.
