Apex 80353 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 7/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80353 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point socket in a 7/16 inch SAE size, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. Designed for professional use, it delivers the strength and access needed for fastener work in tight or open spaces. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Hard-stamped size markings make identification fast when pulling from a tray or toolbox. At 0.984 inches in length and 0.04 pounds, it is a standard-length socket suited for everyday service tasks.

This socket is appropriate for a wide range of trade and mechanical applications including HVAC equipment service, plumbing fixture work, electrical panel and conduit hardware, and general equipment maintenance. The 3/8 inch drive fits standard 3/8 inch ratchets, extensions, and drive adapters commonly found in service vans and shop toolboxes. It is sold individually and is well-suited for technicians who need to replace or supplement an existing socket set.

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch drive SAE socket compatible with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, torque wrench, or extension following standard ANSI drive geometry.

Installation Notes

Ensure the ratchet or drive tool is rated for the torque required by the fastener application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not use damaged sockets. This socket is intended for hand-tool use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench and should not be used with impact drivers unless rated for impact service.
