This size is often required for specific automotive applications, such as large suspension nuts,\r\n\ttransmission drain plugs, and specialized industrial fasteners where a high-torque, precise fit is non-negotiable.\r\n\tBy utilizing the 3\/8' drive platform, it offers a distinct advantage in tight spaces, providing a slimmer profile\r\n\tand lower weight than traditional 1\/2' drive tools while still delivering the leverage necessary for high-stakes\r\n\trepairs.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe 12-point (double-hex) geometry is a critical feature for efficiency in restricted areas. By offering twice the\r\n\tengagement angles of a standard 6-point socket, it allows you to seat the tool onto 23mm fasteners with only a\r\n\t30-degree rotation of the handle. This ensures a faster workflow in cramped environments—like deep chassis wells or\r\n\tcomplex industrial machinery—where a full swing of the wrench is simply not possible.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tEngineered for professional-grade longevity, this socket is forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel. The\r\n\talloy is meticulously heat-treated to ensure the socket walls remain rigid and structural integrity is maintained\r\n\tunder heavy rotational stress. To combat the harsh conditions of a busy shop, the tool is finished with a\r\n\tmirror-polished chrome coating that resists rust, corrosion, and the buildup of stubborn workshop grease, ensuring\r\n\tit remains easy to clean and maintain.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tInternally, the socket features precision-machined broaching to ensure a high-tolerance fit on all 23mm fasteners.\r\n\tThis design prioritizes contact with the flat sides of the bolt head, effectively distributing pressure and\r\n\tpreventing the rounding of corners. Whether you are a professional mechanic handling specialized European vehicle\r\n\trepairs or an industrial technician maintaining heavy equipment, this 23mm socket provides the heavy-duty\r\n\tperformance and precision you can trust.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eLoosening \u0026amp; fastening of various fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eContractor\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eFabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eWoodworking\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eDIY\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Saddle Creek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67531188502818,"sku":"TC85023","price":61.64,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/saddlecreek.co.za\/products\/socket-3-8dr-23mm-12pt-crv","provider":"Saddle Creek","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
