Williams SNP50666 3/8"Drive SAE Socket Set Metric 47 Pieces

The Williams SNP50666 is a 3/8 inch drive socket set, 47 pieces.

Note a contradiction in the source: the item is named an SAE socket set and the type field says Metric. Those are mutually exclusive. One of them is wrong, and this is not a cosmetic error — a customer ordering an SAE set and receiving metric has a box of sockets that will not fit anything they own.

Verify before publishing.

The reason it matters more than it might is that SAE and metric sockets are close enough to be dangerous. A 1/2 inch socket fits a 13 mm nut loosely — 13 mm is 0.512 inches, so there is about a hundredth of an inch of slop. It turns the fastener, and it rounds it. The same is true of 3/8 on 10 mm and 9/16 on 14 mm. Somebody with the wrong set will make it work and destroy fasteners doing it.

At 3/8 inch drive and 47 pieces, this is the general-purpose set: the drive size that handles most automotive and equipment fasteners without being unwieldy.

The 3/8 inch square is a torque rating expressed as geometry. It is engineered for the fasteners it fits.
