Stahlwille Metric 3/8" bi-hex sockets, 7mm

Stahlwille 45 is a 3/8" drive bi-hex socket range in metric sizes from 7 to 24mm. The 17 sizes run from 24 to 35mm long, so the socket grows with the size rather than staying one fixed length.

The bi-hex (double hexagon, 12-point) profile carries Stahlwille's AS-Drive (Anti-Slip Drive) form, which transmits high forces to the flats of nuts and bolts without damaging them. The sockets are HPQ steel, chrome-plated, for hand operation only. The range is made to DIN 3124 / ISO 2725-1 / ASME B 107.5M / DIN EN 3709.
