Apex 80330 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 20 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80330 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 20 MM chrome socket designed for professional trade use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial applications. Built with a full polish chrome finish, the socket resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. Off-corner loading technology directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast, even in low-light or cluttered tool trays. At 0.17 pounds and 1.102 inches in length, it is a compact, lightweight tool suited for work in confined spaces.

This socket is well suited for general mechanical work, equipment maintenance, and service tasks where a standard-length 3/8 inch drive socket is required. The 20 MM size covers a wide range of metric fasteners commonly found in automotive assemblies, HVAC equipment housings, pump flanges, and electrical panel hardware. It is appropriate for use by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who carry metric drive sets as part of their standard toolkit.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive with 6-point contact geometry for secure fastener engagement
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Hard-stamped 20 MM size marking for fast, reliable identification
• Compact standard length at 1.102 inches for use in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style 3/8 inch drive metric socket compatible with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench that accepts standard square-drive accessories.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand tool technicians and should be paired with a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque specifications are critical. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact-rated drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
