Apex 80340 Universal Flex Socket 3/8 in Drive 17 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80340 is a universal flex socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications, featuring a 6-point configuration in a 17 MM size. Built from alloy steel and forged for a precise fit, it delivers reliable torque transfer on hex fasteners. The flex joint allows access to fasteners at awkward angles without sacrificing grip. Surface Drive technology shifts contact pressure away from fastener corners, reducing the chance of rounding edges on stubborn or worn fasteners. This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general trade use where confined-space access is required.

The APEX 80340 fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Its 17 MM size covers a wide range of fastener applications found in automotive, light truck, and mechanical maintenance work. The high-polish chrome finish resists corrosion during regular shop or field use. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both professional shop environments and field service work where tool durability and fastener protection matter.
