Apex 80397 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 15 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80397 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications. It features a 6-point, 15 MM design built for everyday professional use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service environments. The off-corner loading geometry directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast when working out of a toolbox or tray. This socket is sized at 2.5 inches in length and weighs 0.17 pounds.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, fleet service, HVAC equipment service, and general trade use where metric fasteners are common. The 15 MM size is a frequently used metric dimension across a wide range of equipment panels, brackets, and mechanical assemblies. Sold individually.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a calibrated torque wrench where fastener torque specifications apply. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and retire any damaged sockets from service. No power shutoff is required for hand-tool use, but follow all applicable site safety and lock-out/tag-out procedures when servicing energized equipment.
