Engineered with a standard 3\/8' drive, it offers a\r\n\tperfect balance of strength and maneuverability, allowing it to handle significant torque while remaining slim\r\n\tenough to reach into the most crowded engine bays or equipment housings.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThe 12-point (double-hex) geometry provides a distinct advantage when working in confined quarters. By doubling the\r\n\tavailable engagement angles compared to a traditional 6-point socket, it allows you to slip the tool onto a bolt\r\n\twith only a minimal rotation of the ratchet. This is a lifesaver in scenarios where your swing space is measured in\r\n\tmillimeters, ensuring you can keep moving forward even when visibility and access are low.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tDurability is a core feature, as this socket is forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel. This high-strength\r\n\talloy is heat-treated to ensure the socket walls remain rigid under heavy stress, preventing cracking or spreading.\r\n\tTo ensure it stands the test of time in a busy shop, the tool is finished with a mirror-polished chrome coating that\r\n\tprovides excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, and the harsh chemicals often found in automotive environments.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tPrecision-machined internal broaching ensures an exacting fit on all 10mm fasteners. This tight tolerance allows the\r\n\tsocket to grip the flat sides of the bolt head rather than the corners, which dramatically reduces the risk of\r\n\trounding off hardware. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or a complex engine teardown, this 10mm socket\r\n\tis designed to deliver consistent, professional-grade performance every time.\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":"Vermont","offers":[{"title":"Gauteng \/ Collect \/ Each","offer_id":50280936407277,"sku":"TC85010-Gauteng-Collect-Each","price":16.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gauteng \/ Deliver \/ Each","offer_id":50280936440045,"sku":"TC85010-Gauteng-Deliver-Each","price":14.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/2292\/9133\/files\/TC85010-main.jpg?v=1783989739","url":"https:\/\/brickparadise.co.za\/products\/tc85010","provider":"Brick Paradise \u0026 Hardware Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
