Apex 80121 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Pt 3/8 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80121 is a 3/8 inch, 6-point, 1/4 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. It is designed for general fastener work across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trade applications where a compact drive size is needed. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads. Large, hard-stamped size markings make it fast to identify in a crowded tray or bag. At 0.08 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended overhead or confined-space use.

This socket suits residential and light commercial service work where 1/4 inch drive tooling is preferred for tighter access points. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers reach for 1/4 inch drive sockets when working around control boards, panel knockouts, access covers, and fixture hardware. The 3/8 inch size is a common fastener spec in equipment covers and junction boxes. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion in field environments and wipes clean easily.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified trade technician should select the correct drive torque rating for the fastener application before use. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Do not use impact-rated power tools with chrome hand-tool sockets unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
