Apex 3112 Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 3/8 in Hex 6-pt

Product Description

The APEX 3112 is a 3/8 inch drive, 3/8 inch hex impact socket built for professional-grade fastening work. Manufactured from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, this 6-point standard-length socket delivers greater strength and a longer service life compared to conventional impact sockets. The tighter manufacturing tolerances produce superior product consistency and a more precise fit to fasteners, which translates directly to better torque transfer during high-impact use. At 1.25 inches overall length, it is a compact, standard-duty socket suited for production, maintenance, and field service environments. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics routinely specify APEX sockets for demanding fastening applications.

This socket is intended for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets in both shop and field settings. Its standard hex drive configuration and 6-point socket design make it appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance work where consistent fastener engagement and reliable torque transfer are required. The SAE sizing and compliance with ANSI and DIN standards make it a fit for a wide range of North American and international fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of impact sockets should be performed by qualified mechanics or trade professionals familiar with impact tooling. Always ensure the drive tool is powered down or air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets beyond their rated capacity, and inspect sockets for cracks or deformation before each use.
