Apex 80384 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 16 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80384 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 16 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the service life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification in a tool bag or tray. At 0.984 inches in length and 0.08 pounds, this is a standard-length socket suited for everyday use.

This socket is well suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades where 16 MM fasteners are common. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean easily, making it practical for shop and field work alike. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both professional service environments and trade-qualified DIY applications.
