Apex 13MM13 Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 13mm 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 13MM13 is a 3/8 inch drive, 13mm impact socket designed for use with impact wrenches and drive tools in demanding trade and industrial applications. Built from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, it delivers greater strength and longer service life than standard sockets. The 6-point hex drive geometry provides full contact on fastener flats, reducing rounding and improving torque transfer. At 1.5 inches overall length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general fastening work across mechanical, electrical, and construction trades.

This socket is used in residential and commercial service environments wherever 13mm metric fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel and conduit work, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical repair. It is rated to ANSI and DIN standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use. The socket is not insulated and not rated non-sparking, so it is intended for standard dry mechanical service rather than live-electrical or hazardous-atmosphere work.

Key Features

• Proprietary alloy steel and heat treat process for greater strength and longer bit life
• 6-point hex drive design for superior torque transfer and reduced fastener rounding
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances for consistent fit across fasteners
• Meets ANSI and DIN dimensional standards
• Standard length at 1.5 inches overall for broad application coverage
• Metric sizing: 13mm socket on 3/8 inch drive

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard service socket compatible with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extension bars used in trade and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers using 3/8 inch drive impact or hand tools. Always confirm the fastener size matches the socket before applying torque to avoid rounding. This socket is not insulated and must not be used on or near energized electrical components. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if wear is evident.
