Ten sizes. Zero excuses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hex Surgeon replaces an entire rail of individual sockets with a single 3\/8-inch drive tool that adjusts continuously from 10mm to 19mm. The self-centering jaw mechanism grips hex fasteners on three contact faces — not two, as budget adjustable sockets do — distributing torque evenly across the bolt head rather than concentrating it on the corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForged from chrome-vanadium steel (CR-V) and phosphate-coated against corrosion, this is the socket you throw in the glovebox, the motorcycle saddlebag, or the emergency kit under the workbench.

The 3-jaw self-centering design grips more surface area than a standard 12-point socket, and can often bite on fasteners that a fixed socket would slip on.
