Apex 80372 Deep Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Pt 13/16 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 80372 is a deep-length, 6-point socket designed for 3/8 inch drive tools and built from alloy steel with a full-polish chrome finish. At 2.5 inches in length and sized for 13/16 inch fasteners, it provides the reach needed to seat deeply recessed bolts and nuts that standard-length sockets cannot access. The off-corner loading design transfers torque to the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy shop or field environment. Licensed and sold under the APEX brand.

This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications where a 3/8 inch drive and deep-reach capability are required. It handles fasteners commonly found in engine bays, equipment assemblies, and structural components where bolt heads sit below surrounding surfaces. The deep-length profile is particularly useful for spark plug work and similar recessed-fastener scenarios. It is appropriate for use by automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and other trade professionals who require a reliable, full-polish chrome socket in their everyday kit.

Key Features

• Deep-length design at 2.5 inches for access to recessed fasteners
• 6-point geometry for maximum contact on fastener flats
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Alloy steel construction with full-polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit deep socket for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 6-point sockets sized for 13/16 inch fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal work with this socket should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trade professional using a properly rated 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the fastener and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use with an impact driver unless the tool and socket are both impact-rated.
