It is designed for use in hand-tool applications where fastener access, speed, and durability are priorities. Off-corner loading geometry directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in the field. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any service kit used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, or general trade professionals who work with standard SAE fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket fits standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 3\/8 inch SAE fasteners are common, including equipment panels, access covers, and mechanical assemblies. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, which is useful in tight spaces where ratchet swing is limited. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion in typical shop and field environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch SAE size, 1\/4 inch drive for use with standard ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point design offers increased engagement positions for restricted-access fastener work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard-stamped size markings for fast identification in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.03 pounds, suitable for portable tool kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and extensions accepting SAE sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage or socket ejection. Power down or de-energize equipment before removing fasteners on electrical panels or mechanical enclosures. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found. Hand tools of this type do not require specialized certifications but should be used in accordance with applicable safety practices for the trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Count\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12-point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Polish Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.965 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 099575802164\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80216\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347850461490,"sku":"80216","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310497643.jpg?v=1782114978","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-80216-socket-1-4-in-drive-12-point-3-8-in-sae","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
