Apex 80383 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 15 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80383 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 15 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work. Built to withstand repeated use, it features an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces fastener rounding and extends the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded tool bag or socket rail. At 0.07 pounds and 0.984 inches in length, this is a compact, standard-length socket suited for tight-access fastening tasks.

This socket is appropriate for residential and commercial service work wherever 15 MM fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include equipment mounting hardware, panel fasteners, and mechanical assembly or disassembly tasks. It is well suited for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades who require a reliable, full polish chrome socket in a 3/8 inch drive configuration.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive with 6-point contact geometry for secure fastener engagement
• Off-corner loading design reduces rounding on hex fasteners
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Large, hard-stamped size markings for fast identification

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by trade professionals working on fastener-driven assemblies. Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if deformation is present. No power shutoff is required for socket use alone, but always follow appropriate lockout/tagout procedures when working on energized or pressurized equipment.
