Capri Tools Stubby Impact Socket Set – 3/8 in. Drive, Metric (15-Piece)

Overview

The Capri Tools 3/8 in. drive stubby impact socket set combines compact form with serious torque capability, designed to help you work efficiently in tight spots. Each piece is engineered to be 20% shorter than traditional shallow sockets, letting you reach fasteners where standard tools simply won’t fit. The result is a more confident approach to under-car, between-frame, and congested assembly tasks without sacrificing grip or leverage.

Durability you can feel

Crafted from premium Chrome Molybdenum steel and tempered with a proprietary heat-treatment process, these sockets are built to handle high-torque demands from power tools. The surface is coated with manganese phosphate, chosen for its protective performance in rugged environments, offering superior corrosion resistance compared with common black oxide finishes.

• 20% shorter than shallow sockets for tight-access work
• 6-point WaveDrive design increases fastener contact and minimizes rounding
• Premium steel and heat treatment support higher torque capacity
• Manganese phosphate coating enhances protection and longevity
• Conforms to or exceeds ASME B107.110 standards

What’s included and how it helps

The 15-piece set spans 8–22 mm sizes, providing a broad range for common metric fasteners. It arrives with Capri Tools’ spill-resistant Mechanic's Tray, designed for tidy storage and quick access. Tray dimensions are 9-3/4 in. long, 3-1/2 in. wide, and 1-4/5 in. high with sockets, fitting neatly in most tool chests or cabinets.

• 15-piece metric collection covers frequently used sizes
• Spill-resistant tray keeps sockets organized during transport
• Clear organization aids faster tool selection on the job

Real-world use and benefits

In practical terms, this stubby set shines when you’re crawling under a vehicle, reaching behind brackets, or working in cramped dashboards. The combination of a compact profile, strong grip, and durable coating can contribute to smoother workflow, fewer tool swaps, and a more confident handling of fasteners in challenging spaces. While individual results may vary, the design emphasizes reliable torque transfer and steadier leverage in demanding tasks.
