A 3/8 socket set may fall to the smaller side of the socket set scale, but that doesn’t mean it can’t take on tasks that 1/2-inch socket sets can. From automotive repair and construction to machinery maintenance and DIY projects, a 3/8 drive socket set will drive a significant impact, just like its big brother. With a drive size of three-eighths of an inch, you can count on their grooved ends to correspond with the square or hexagonal hole to which they attach. In other words, a 3/8 impact socket set will help you tighten or loosen your favourite nuts, bolts and fasteners.
In general, socket sets are your trusty companion for when you need to affix or remove nuts, bolts and other kinds of fasteners. They come in various sizes — the largest being the 1-inch socket set, which is built for more heavy-duty applications, such as industrial equipment, large machinery, and heavy-duty vehicle repairs. On the other end of the scale, 1/4-inch socket sets are the runt of the litter, but they still pack a pocket-sized punch. Just as you would want the finest needle for the daintiest tapestry, you’d want a 1/4-inch socket set for the more delicate and exacting applications — for example, bicycles, appliances, electronics and small machinery.
Despite superseding the 1/4-inch only, the 3/8 socket set’s additional length gives it extra wiggle room to perform more like a 1/2-incher. It will almost certainly contain sockets ranging from small to medium to accommodate nuts, bolts and fasteners in varying sizes. As well as a ratcheting handle (or wrench) — which allows for easy turning of the nuts and bolts in either direction — a 3/8 socket set will often come with extension bars, spark plug sockets and universal joints tailored to the 3/8-inch size. Overall, these sets (and all their accessories) provide users with a versatile selection of durable, reliable tools for the task at hand.
