Apex 80374 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 6 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80374 is a 6 MM, 6-point, full polish chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive, designed for professional use in mechanical and trade service work. The off-corner loading design transfers force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification easy in a busy shop or field environment. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC equipment service, light industrial maintenance, and general mechanical work where a 3/8 inch drive tool is the preferred choice. At 0.984 inches in length, it fits standard-depth applications where clearance is not a limiting factor. Sold individually, it integrates into existing 3/8 inch drive socket sets or works as a standalone replacement for a missing or damaged size.

Key Features

• 6-point contact geometry for secure grip on hex fasteners
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast, reliable identification
• 3/8 inch drive compatibility with standard ratchets, extensions, and adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch drive socket for use with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, extension, or breaker bar conforming to standard drive dimensions.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand when connecting to a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque. Always select the correct socket size for the fastener to avoid slippage or damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if deformation is visible.
