Apex 80399 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 17 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80399 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 17 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of service applications. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification in a tool tray or bag. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes the socket easy to wipe clean after use. This socket is sold individually and is suited for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals who require reliable, durable hand tools on the job.

This socket is intended for use in residential and commercial service environments where a 3/8 inch drive tool is the standard choice. Typical applications include equipment installation, panel work, mechanical assembly, and general fastener removal or torquing tasks. The 6-point geometry is well suited for work on hex fasteners where slip resistance and fastener protection are priorities. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches commonly found in trade toolkits.

Installation Notes
