      Q:Can I get a couple of examples on what you'd use this particular Husky 3/8" drive with a 3/8" hex...

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hey ac2bshawnp, The hex bit sockets can be used in any scenario where a hex key would be used but they provide better access, a ratcheting mechanism and a longer handle for more torque. No chrome socket is intended to or ever recommended to be used with an impact. Chrome sockets are hardened and only designed for manual drive tools. Due to the mechanism the impact uses to impart torque to the fastener it can shatter the socket causing serious injury. Impact rated sockets are made of softer materials that can absorb the impact and transfer it to the fastener without being dangerous. Thanks!

          Not actually a 7mm
          I bought the 7mm allen socket today to do the brakes on my wife's car. Even though the package is labeled 7mm it's actually a 1/4" hex. That's what it mic's to and what it stamped on the shaft (I didn't notice the stamping until after I tried to use it). Very disappointed!!

          LesR, Sounds like this could have been a manufactuing mistake if the wrong Hex stock was pressed into the socket base. Please give us a call at 1-888-HD-Husky, (option2) and we will get you the correct socket shipped out to you. HuskyMHT

            8mm hex worked great
            Needed 8mm hex to remove the belt tensioner bolt on 2006 Honda Civic. Videos showed this bolt being the hardest one and 2 were broken using an impact wrench in one video. I used this socket, a 3/8" flex joint, a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter, and a 24" breaker bar. With slow and steady pressure and after having put some penetrant on it the night before, this did the trick without breaking the socket or the bolt. I was probably applying 30-35 lbs force at 24", or close to 60-70 ft/lbs. That's pretty harsh for any 3/8" socket. Nice chrome finish, good strength. For $2.27, I give it three thumbs up.

              Defective item. The hex end broke in two the first time I used it on a basic repair in my home.
