Apex 80373 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 7/8 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80373 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications. It features a 6-point, 7/8 inch opening and measures 2.5 inches in length. The off-corner loading design transfers torque to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing fastener rounding under load. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a tool bag or drawer. At 0.44 pounds, it is a lightweight, durable addition to any professional socket set. This socket is suited for mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working with standard SAE fasteners across residential and commercial service applications.

The APEX 80373 fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is appropriate for use in tight engine bays, mechanical rooms, and utility spaces where access is limited. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward after contact with grease, oil, or other shop fluids. It is sold individually and suited for trade professionals who need to replace or supplement existing socket sets without purchasing a full kit.
