Apex 80357 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 11/16 Inch Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80357 is a 6-point, 3/8 inch drive socket sized at 11/16 inch SAE, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for general mechanical service work where precise torque application and fastener protection are priorities. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded toolbox. This socket is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals for equipment assembly, service panel work, and mechanical connections.

The 80357 suits residential and light commercial service applications where 3/8 inch drive tools are standard. It fits within standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions, making it compatible with the vast majority of drive setups already on a service truck. At 0.984 inches in length, it is a standard-depth socket appropriate for exposed fastener heads with adequate clearance.

Installation Notes

De-energize or shut off any equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical panels, HVAC units, or plumbing assemblies. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use. This tool is intended for use by qualified trade professionals following applicable service procedures and safety standards.
