Apex 80381 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 13 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80381 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 13 MM chrome socket designed for professional-grade fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. Built with a full polish chrome finish, the socket resists corrosion and is easy to clean after use. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded tool bag or drawer. The off-corner loading design distributes torque force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or stubborn fasteners. At 0.06 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing structural integrity.

This socket suits electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades who work with metric fasteners in tight or standard-clearance spaces. The 3/8 inch drive fits standard 3/8 inch ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars common on most service vehicles and shop benches. It is a practical addition to any metric socket set where a reliable 13 MM option is needed for panel work, equipment mounting, or mechanical assembly tasks.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions
• 6-point contact geometry for reduced fastener rounding under load
• Off-corner loading design applies force to fastener flats, not corners
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Large hard-stamped markings for fast size identification

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars in metric fastener applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any compatible 3/8 inch drive tool. Always confirm the socket size matches the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. When working on electrical panels or energized equipment, de-energize and lock out the circuit before using hand tools in the work area. Chrome sockets are intended for hand-tool use only and should not be used with impact drivers.
