Apex 80396 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 14 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80396 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 14 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade applications. The off-corner loading design transfers torque to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. Large hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a tool bag or tray. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. This socket is suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals who require reliable hand-tool performance on metric fasteners.

This socket is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar is the preferred tool. It handles metric fastener sizes in tight and standard-access applications. The standard length profile makes it a practical fit for the majority of service panel, equipment mounting, and mechanical assembly tasks encountered in the field.
