Deep Impact Socket 38mm 1/2in Drive 12 Point Bi-Hex

A deep impact socket made for 38mm fasteners, with a 1/2in drive and 12 point bi-hex profile. Used mainly for axle and spindle nut work, it suits front wheel drive vehicle jobs where extra depth is needed to reach over longer threaded sections.

Commonly used during vehicle maintenance, servicing and repair work, this socket is suited to garage use, workshop fitting jobs and home mechanics working on hubs, driveline parts and front suspension-related tasks. The deep body helps when removing or fitting axle nuts on front wheel drive vehicles, especially where a standard depth socket may not give enough clearance.

The 38mm size makes it specific to larger automotive fasteners, while the 1/2in drive allows it to be used with compatible impact tools, ratchets or breaker bars where suitable. Its 12 point bi-hex design helps align the socket onto the nut more easily, which can be useful when access is awkward or when working in tighter spaces around the hub area. The deep pattern is particularly handy for spindle and axle applications, helping the socket sit over protruding threads without needing to swap to another style. A useful option for regular maintenance where common driveline fasteners need a dedicated socket close to hand.
