Socket 3/8" drive with 8 mm hex bit STAHLWILLE (model 4932480835)

STAHLWILLE 3/8" drive socket with integrated 8 mm hex bit (model 4932480835) is a compact tool designed to work with 3/8" ratchets and drive tools. The socket combines a standard 3/8" square drive interface with a built-in 8 mm internal hex (imbus) bit, allowing direct engagement with fasteners that have an internal hex profile. It is intended for applications where a robust, space-saving hex socket is required for repetitive fastening and loosening operations.

Advantages

The socket provides secure engagement with 8 mm internal hex fasteners while fitting standard 3/8" drive tools, reducing the need for adapters. Its integrated hex bit design improves alignment and torque transfer compared with separate bit-and-socket setups. Manufactured by STAHLWILLE, the tool is made to meet professional workshop requirements for durability and consistent fit. Its compact form factor facilitates access to confined or recessed fasteners.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and repair where 8 mm internal hex bolts are used
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks in workshops and production
• Industrial maintenance where a reliable 3/8" drive hex solution is required
• Use with 3/8" ratchets, torque wrenches and drive extensions for controlled tightening

Key specifications

• Drive interface: 3/8" square drive compatible with standard ratchets and handles
• Tip type: internal hex (imbus) 8 mm
• Form factor: integrated hex bit inside socket body for compact access
• Material and finish: manufactured to professional tool standards for wear resistance (brand manufacturer specifications)
• Intended use: fastening and loosening internal hex bolts and screws

How to use

Fit the socket onto a 3/8" ratchet, torque wrench or compatible drive tool. Align the integrated 8 mm hex tip with the internal hex recess of the fastener and apply steady torque in the required direction to tighten or loosen. When using a torque-sensitive application, confirm the torque tool's settings and apply torque according to the fastener manufacturer's specification. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear or damage before use to ensure safe operation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the socket with a 3/8" extension or universal joint when accessing recessed or awkward fasteners. Avoid using excessive impact forces or overloaded torque beyond the tool's intended rating; if precise torque values are required, use a calibrated torque wrench. Store the socket in a dry tool organizer to prevent corrosion and maintain fit accuracy.
