Apex 80356 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 5/8 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80356 is a 5/8 inch, 6-point, full polish chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive. It is designed for fastener removal and installation in tight or standard-access situations. The off-corner loading geometry places force on the flat sides of fasteners rather than the corners, which reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification easy in a busy tool tray or bag. This socket is suited for use by licensed trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who need a reliable hand tool for equipment service and installation work.

This socket is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive tool is standard. It fits into tool sets used during equipment changeouts, panel work, pipe fitting, and general mechanical service. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion in shop and field environments. At 0.984 inches in length, it suits standard-depth fastener access on most equipment.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding during removal and installation
• 6-point geometry for increased contact area on hex fasteners
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning

• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch drive socket compatible with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches using a standard square drive interface.

Installation Notes

This socket is a hand tool used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors during equipment service. Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use and replace if damaged. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when torquing critical fasteners.
