Apex 80417 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 3/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80417 is a 3/8 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in mechanical and trade applications. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended tool life. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, a material known for its high impact strength and resistance to wear. At 1.653 inches in length and 0.14 pounds, this compact socket is well suited for tight-clearance fastener work in HVAC equipment, electrical panels, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies.

This bit socket is intended for use with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. The 3/16 inch SAE hex bit size covers a range of common fastener applications encountered in residential and commercial service work. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals who require precise, reliable hex fastener engagement on the job.
