## Overview

The TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 1 Inch Shallow 12-Point Socket (SHD12225) is a durable, corrosion-resistant tool crafted from chrome vanadium steel. 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.
Review: As advertised - Nice quality

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is it?**
A: It’s about 2 inches long.

**Q: Which is better 6-point or 12-point socket**
A: All depends on the fastener. 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As advertised

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.
