Mechanic Sockets And Impact Sockets
As part of mechanic sockets, this deep 12 point 18mm option provides reliable fitment for common automotive applications. Note that impact sockets are engineered differently; confirm impact rating before using with air or high-torque impact tools. For routine hand-ratchet and torque-wrench work, this socket offers consistent engagement, reducing rounding and slippage when used with the appropriate drive tools.
Professional And Heavy Duty Automotive Sockets
Designed for professional sockets collections, the 80532 fits heavy duty automotive tasks that require deeper reach and accurate contact on fasteners. Its size marking and standardized 3/8 drive compatibility make it simple to integrate into existing sets, mobile tool chests, and service carts. The deep configuration is particularly useful for wheel hub service, brake work, and assembly jobs where studs extend past the nut.
For technicians building a balanced socket selection, this 18mm 12 point deep socket pairs well with shallow and deep counterparts across the metric range. Its compact profile aids access in confined engine bays and suspension assemblies. Consider adding a matching extension or universal joint to improve angular reach without compromising drive engagement.
Whether replacing a worn socket or expanding a professional kit, the GEARWRENCH - ACH 80532 3/8 drive 12 Pt deep socket 18mm is a practical choice for accurate, repeatable fastening in automotive settings. Fast shipping.
