Apex 80368 Deep Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 9/16 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 80368 is a deep-length, 6-point socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it fits 9/16 inch fasteners and delivers reliable torque transfer through an off-corner loading design that places force on the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding and extends the life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow fast identification in a toolbox or socket rail. At 2.5 inches in length, the deep profile provides the clearance needed to reach recessed or stud-mounted fasteners common in mechanical and automotive work.

This socket is suited for professional tradespeople including mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who regularly encounter recessed fasteners, long bolt shanks, or stud protrusions. The deep length makes it practical on equipment panels, mechanical assemblies, and piping hardware where a standard-length socket would bottom out before seating. It is sold individually and is compatible with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.

• Deep-length profile at 2.5 inches for access to recessed and stud-mounted fasteners

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed mechanics and trade professionals using standard 3/8 inch drive tools. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
