Apex 80408 Socket 3/8 Drive 6 Point 22 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80408 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point, 22 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. Built to handle repeated use in demanding conditions, it features large hard-stamped size markings for fast identification in low-light or high-clutter work environments. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the service life of both the socket and the fastener. At 0.27 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-unit tool suited for daily shop or field use.

This socket is appropriate for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where a 3/8 inch drive tool is required. The 6-point geometry provides a secure grip on standard hex fasteners and is a common choice when working with metric hardware in tight or high-torque applications. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleaning straightforward after use in greasy or wet environments.
