Apex 80389 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 7 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80389 is a 7 MM, 6-point, 3/8 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. It is designed for professional use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications where fastener access and durability matter. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded tool bag or socket rail. At 0.11 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing strength.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive is the standard setup. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The 6-point geometry provides a secure grip on hex fasteners and is the preferred configuration when working with corroded or overtightened hardware. Typical applications include equipment panel fasteners, motor mounts, bracket hardware, and general mechanical assembly tasks encountered in trade service work.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by trade professionals including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians during equipment service and assembly. Confirm the drive size and point configuration match your ratchet and fastener before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if deformation is present. Do not use impact drivers with chrome hand sockets unless the socket is impact-rated.
