Socket 3/4" 38 mm, NEO tools 12-point (model 08-327)

NEO tools 12-point socket with 3/4" drive and 38 mm size is designed for fastening and loosening hexagonal fasteners in demanding environments. The 12-point profile allows quicker engagement with studs and bolts where access or angular clearance is limited. Constructed to mate with 3/4" drive ratchets and breakers, this socket suits high-torque applications typically encountered in automotive, industrial and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The 12-point interior profile reduces the need for exact alignment, speeding up repetitive operations and improving access on crowded assemblies. A 38 mm opening provides a precise fit for corresponding fasteners, minimizing rounding and wear. Compatibility with a 3/4" drive gives the mechanical advantage needed for heavy-duty loosening and tightening when using appropriate torque tools. The socket is made to withstand torque loads common in professional service environments.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and wheel servicing where large hex nuts and bolts are present
• Industrial machinery assembly and maintenance requiring high-torque tools
• Heavy equipment service and workshop use with 3/4" drive tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4" (compatible with matching 3/4" ratchets and breakers)
• Socket size: 38 mm (12-point internal profile)
• Profile type: 12-point for improved engagement on hex fasteners
• Intended use: fastening and loosening hexagonal nuts and bolts in heavy-duty applications

How to use

Select a compatible 3/4" drive ratchet, breaker bar or torque wrench, then fit the 38 mm 12-point socket onto the tool drive until it locks. Place the socket over the hexagonal fastener, ensuring the 12-point profile seats fully on the nut or bolt. Apply controlled force with the drive tool suited to the application — use a breaker bar or impact-rated tool for stubborn fasteners and a torque wrench when a specific torque is required. After use, inspect the socket for signs of wear or rounding before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and matched drive tools rated for the required torque. Avoid applying torque beyond the tool and fastener ratings to reduce the risk of damage. For precision tightening, use a calibrated torque wrench and verify torque settings specific to the fastener application.
