Apex 80350 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 1/4 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80350 is a 1/4-inch, 6-point, full polish chrome socket with a 3/8-inch drive. Built for trade use, it features an off-corner loading design that transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing rounding and extending fastener life. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in the field or at the bench. At 0.984 inches in length and 0.04 pounds, it is compact and lightweight without sacrificing durability. Licensed and distributed under the APEX brand, this socket is suited for professional mechanical and service applications.

This socket is designed for use in tight-access areas where a compact drive tool is required. The 3/8-inch drive accepts standard ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars in that drive size. The 6-point geometry provides a secure grip on hex fasteners, making it appropriate for assembly, disassembly, and maintenance tasks across HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, electrical panels, and general mechanical service work. It is sold individually and suited for both shop and field use.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to prevent slipping or damage to the fastener.
