Apex 80390 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 8 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80390 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and handles. It features a 6-point, 8 MM opening with an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of fastener rounding and extends the service life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification easy in a busy shop or field environment. The socket weighs 0.13 pounds and measures 2.5 inches in length.

This socket is suited for general mechanical and trade work where an 8 MM fastener size is common. Applications include HVAC equipment assembly and service, electrical panel and equipment work, plumbing fixture installation, and general equipment maintenance. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both professional tradespeople and experienced DIYers working on mechanical systems.
