Crescent CDS25N 3/8" Drive 12 Point Standard and similar items

Crescent CDS25N 3/8" Drive 12 Point Standard SAE Socket 3/8" Nickel Chrome 2-PACK Deliver reliable performance and lasting durability with the Crescent CDS25N 3/8-inch drive socket, a precision-engineered tool crafted for consistent use in automotive, mechanical, and general repair applications. Made from high-strength chrome vanadium alloy steel, this socket is specially heat-treated to enhance toughness, ensuring resistance to wear, deformation, and fatigue during repeated use. The full polish nickel chrome plating provides a smooth, reflective finish that resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning, maintaining the socket?s appearance and function over time. Designed with a 12-point opening, the CDS25N fits both hex and 12-point fasteners, allowing for greater engagement and easier placement in tight or restricted spaces. The 3/8-inch socket size matches the 3/8-inch drive, making it ideal for use with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and extension tools. Its standard length (1.69 inches overall, 0.9500 inches working length) balances reach and strength for a wide range of fastening tasks. Featuring Surface Drive technology, this socket reduces the risk of fastener rounding by distributing torque more evenly across the contact points, preserving both the tool and the fastener. The design enhances grip and minimizes slippage, especially under high-torque conditions. The socket is tether-capable, allowing for secure attachment to tool lanyards in environments where tool drop prevention is critical. Weighing just 0.100 lb and constructed with a hex drive style, the CDS25N offers a secure fit on 3/8-inch drive tools. It is not impact-rated, making it best suited for hand tool applications rather than use with powered impact wrenches. Packaged in a carded format, it is retail-ready and easy to store or display. Compliant with ASME B107.1-2002 standards, this socket meets recognized industry specifications for dimensional accuracy, performance, and safety. The SAE measurement system ensures compatibility with standard U.S. fasteners and tool sets.
