Featuring large, permanent roll-stamped size markings and a versatile 12-point opening, it offers superior grip on multiple fastener types while preventing round-off damage. Its secure detent grooves and beveled edges ensure a reliable connection with 3/8 inch drive tools, making it a trusted choice for professionals and serious DIYers alike. ## Description Tekton shallow sockets have large, stamped markings that are permanently impressed into the material by a roll-stamp die and are as large as possible while still being readable along the socket's curved surface. The exterior of the socket is chrome-plated to resist corrosion and wipe clean to a mirror finish. The interior is protected against corrosion with chrome plating that is supplemented with a clear coat or painted finish where needed for full coverage. The 12-point socket opening provides more access positions for multiple types of fasteners, including hex, double hex, and square. Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener's flat sides, rather than its corners. Four detent grooves provide a secure connection with the retaining ball of a drive tool, and beveled inner rims help guide the socket onto other tools. Review: Good @ 90 ft-lbs - This size was missing from my set. Used it on suspension components @ 90 ft-lbs and did not fail. For higher torques, I'd use a 6 point socket It worked great for my application. Seems like good quality.

U won't be able to tighten a 12 point bolt with a 6 point socket. Use 6 point sockets on 6 point fasteners and 12 point sockets on 12 point fasteners. U can use 12 point sockets on 6 point fasteners but u won't be able to put any sort of torque to the fastener **Q: Where are these made?** A: Tekton is a Michigan company (I live in upper Mi. and prefer their tools for quality) this socket was made in Taiwan. **Q: where is the 3/8 22 mm shallow** A: Yes, to get a deep 22mm I went to a half inch drive ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good @ 90 ft-lbs *by A***R on February 1, 2026* This size was missing from my set. Used it on suspension components @ 90 ft-lbs and did not fail. For higher torques, I'd use a 6 point socket It worked great for my application. Seems like good quality. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised *by R***. on February 17, 2026* Nice quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great grip, got the job done. *by C***Y on November 15, 2025* Had two rusted bolts on the axle of a aerator that need two new wheels. A regular wrench would not budge them even after soaking the nuts in WD-40. I ordered this socket because it was 12 points for a better grip. It worked very good gripping the old nut so it didn’t strip and with the help of a pipe on the ratchet handle I had the force and grip to get the old nuts off, put on new wheels and put on new nuts to replace the old rusted ones. Very affordable too. ## Frequently Bought Together - TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 1 Inch 12-Point Socket | SHD12225 - TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 11/16 Inch Deep 6-Point Socket | SHD13017 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/205539400-3-8-inch-drive-x-1-inch-shallow-12-point](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/205539400-3-8-inch-drive-x-1-inch-shallow-12-point) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
