The Sealey 3/8" Drive 10mm Ball End Hexagon Socket Bit is one of the most frequently used sizes across automotive, industrial, and general mechanical applications. This 10mm variant is essential for a vast range of fastening tasks including suspension work, engine components, chassis assemblies, and general machinery maintenance where access is restricted and angled engagement is necessary. Manufactured from forged Chrome Vanadium steel with a precision-hardened S2 steel bit, this socket provides outstanding durability and resistance to wear even under intensive professional use. The heat treatment process ensures the socket maintains its structural integrity when subjected to high torque loads, whilst the chrome-plated finish with fully polished mirror surface delivers excellent corrosion protection and a professional appearance. The ball end configuration allows angled access to fasteners, making it indispensable when working around obstructions or in confined spaces where straight-line access is impossible. A knurled ring around the socket body provides enhanced grip security, particularly crucial when working with oily or greasy hands in typical workshop conditions. This feature significantly reduces the risk of slippage that could damage fastener heads or cause injury. Compatible with all standard 3/8" drive ratchets and accessories, this socket bit is supported by Sealey's comprehensive lifetime guarantee. Features and Benefits: • 10mm hexagon size for common automotive and industrial fasteners • Ball end design permits angled access in confined spaces • Heat treated Chrome Vanadium steel with S2 bit construction • Fully polished chrome finish for corrosion resistance • Knurled grip ring for secure handling with contaminated hands Specifications: Brand: Premier Drive: 3/8"Sq Length: 48mm Nett Weight: 0.045kg Size: 10mm
