Apex 80360 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 7/8 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80360 is a 7/8 inch, 6-point, full polish chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive, designed for professional fastener work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a tool bag or on a service truck. At 0.2 pounds and 1.102 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for frequent, close-quarters use by trade professionals.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions common in HVAC service, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel work. The 7/8 inch size is a frequently encountered fastener dimension on mechanical equipment, pipe fittings, and structural hardware. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop and field use where a reliable, durable chrome socket is required.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping.
