Apex 80363 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 1/4 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80363 is a full polish chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive and a 1/4 inch opening, built for professional fastener work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service. The 6-point design uses off-corner loading to place force on the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in a busy toolbox or service van. At 0.11 pounds and 2.5 inches in length, this socket fits into tight access situations common in equipment service work.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension is the tool of choice. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians when accessing panel fasteners, equipment mounting hardware, and component brackets. The standard length and full polish chrome finish make it a practical addition to any professional socket set.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars
• 6-point profile with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is found. Always use the correct size socket for the fastener to avoid injury or fastener damage.
