Apex 80398 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 16 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80398 is a full polish chrome socket designed for professional trade use in mechanical, electrical, and general service applications. Built on a 3/8 inch drive, this 6-point, 16 MM socket features 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 improves overall durability during high-torque work. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in a busy shop or field environment. At 0.17 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing strength.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, automotive service, equipment maintenance, and general fastener-driving tasks where a 3/8 inch drive tool is standard. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. It is sold individually and fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand on any compatible 3/8 inch drive tool. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque. Inspect the socket and fastener for wear before use to avoid slippage. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with powered drive tools.
