Apex 80376 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 8 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80376 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications. It features a 6-point geometry and fits 8 MM fasteners. The off-corner loading design places force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and improving fastener durability over repeated use. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a busy shop or field environment. At 0.984 inches in length and 0.03 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight socket suited for tight-access work. Licensed tradespeople and service technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades will find this socket a reliable addition to a 3/8 inch drive set.

This socket is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial service applications where metric fasteners are common. It fits into standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleaning straightforward after use in greasy or wet environments. Its standard length profile suits most exposed fastener locations encountered in mechanical equipment service.
