Apex 80401 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 19 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80401 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications, featuring a 6-point design in a 19 MM size. Built for trade use in mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing service work, this socket is suited for technicians who need reliable fastener engagement in tight schedules and varied conditions. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification easy when working from a tool bag or drawer. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use.

This socket is appropriate for general mechanical service work including equipment installation, HVAC unit assembly, pipe flange work, and electrical panel mounting tasks. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Sold individually, this 19 MM size covers a wide range of common fastener applications encountered in residential and light commercial service environments. The 6-point geometry is preferred when working with worn or corroded fasteners where a 12-point socket may slip.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand from any compatible 3/8 inch drive tool. No special tools are required beyond the drive ratchet or wrench.
