The TEKTON SHD12225 is a 3/8-inch drive x 1 inch shallow 12-point socket built for everyday service work where you want quick engagement and broad compatibility. Its 12-point opening fits double hex (12-sided), hex, and square-shaped fasteners, making it a handy choice to keep in your main socket rotation.

To help protect fasteners, the socket geometry is designed to apply force to the flat sides rather than the corners—reducing the chance of rounding. The shallow depth keeps it relatively versatile for a wide range of applications, and the beveled inner rim helps guide the socket smoothly onto fasteners.

For ease of use and longevity, it features extra-large die-stamped size markings that are easy to read and can’t wear off, along with a polished, chrome-plated finish that wipes clean and resists corrosion.
