Featuring large, permanent stamped markings for easy size identification, a versatile 12-point socket opening compatible with multiple fastener types, and radiused corners to prevent fastener damage. Its secure detent grooves and beveled edges guarantee a reliable connection with drive tools, making it a top choice for professionals and enthusiasts seeking durability and precision. ## Description Tekton shallow sockets have large, stamped markings that are permanently impressed into the material by a roll-stamp die and are as large as possible while still being readable along the socket's curved surface. The exterior of the socket is chrome-plated to resist corrosion and wipe clean to a mirror finish. The interior is protected against corrosion with chrome plating that is supplemented with a clear coat or painted finish where needed for full coverage. The 12-point socket opening provides more access positions for multiple types of fasteners, including hex, double hex, and square. Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener's flat sides, rather than its corners. Four detent grooves provide a secure connection with the retaining ball of a drive tool, and beveled inner rims help guide the socket onto other tools. ## Features - Large, Stamped Markings – Permanently impressed into the material by a roll-stamp die and as large as possible while still being readable along the socket's curved surface - Exterior and Interior Finishes – The exterior is chrome-plated and the interior is chrome-plated and supplemented with a clear coat or painted finish where needed for full coverage - 12-Point Socket Opening – Get more access positions for multiple types of fasteners, including hex, double hex, and square - Prevents Fastener Round-Off – Radiused corners prevent fastener round-off by applying force to a fastener's flat sides, rather than its corners - Secure Drive Tool Engagement – Detent grooves and beveled edges provide a smooth and secure connection with the drive tool ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07R88YQ51 | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,882 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #5 in Square Drive Sockets | | Bit Compatibilities | 12-point, hex, square | | Bit Set Composition | Single Bit | | Brand Name | TEKTON | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (387) | | Drive Bit Shank Style | Standard | | Drive System | Square | | Finish Types | Chrome | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00020209027837 | | Included Components | (1) TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 15/16 Inch 12-Point Socket | SHD12224 | | Item Type Name | Hand Drive Sockets | | Item Weight | 3.36 ounces | | Manufacturer | TEKTON | | Manufacturer Part Number | SHD12224 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | No time limits, no receipts: tekton.com/warranty | | Material Type | Chrome Vanadium Steel | | Model Number | SHD12224 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 020209027837 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** TEKTON - **Drive System:** Square - **Finish Type:** Chrome - **Material:** Chrome Vanadium Steel - **Number of Pieces:** 1 ## Images ![3/8 Inch Drive x 15/16 Inch 12-Point Socket | SHD12224 | Shallow - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Pkm7gWoML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 15/16 Inch 12-Point Socket | SHD12224 - TEKTON 3/8 Inch Drive x 11/16 Inch Deep 6-Point Socket | SHD13017 - CRAFTSMAN Shallow Socket, SAE, 3/8-Inch Drive, 1-Inch, 6-Point (CMMT43021) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/149659686-3-8-inch-drive-x-15-16-inch-12-point](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/149659686-3-8-inch-drive-x-15-16-inch-12-point) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
