Apex 80406 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 20 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80406 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 20 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of mechanical and trade applications. Built for speed and strength, it features large hard-stamped size markings for quick identification in the field. The off-corner loading design distributes torque force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades rely on this type of socket for equipment installation and service work.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical service environments where a 3/8 inch drive is standard. The 20 MM size covers a common fastener specification found on mechanical equipment, piping components, and electrical enclosures. At 2.5 inches in length, it fits standard-depth applications without the bulk of a deep socket. It is sold individually, making it a direct replacement or single-unit addition to an existing socket set.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 6-point design provides full contact on hex fasteners
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Large hard-stamped markings allow fast size identification
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds for extended use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for 3/8 inch drive socket sets requiring a 6-point 20 MM socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand onto any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on critical fasteners. Follow applicable trade codes and equipment service manuals for fastener torque requirements.
