Apex 80419 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 1/4 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80419 is a 3/8 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in demanding trade and maintenance 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, which provides high impact resistance and tensile strength. At 0.14 pounds and 1.653 inches in length, this is a compact, lightweight socket suitable for use in confined workspaces. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals will find this socket compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions.

The 80419 is suited for residential and commercial service work where internal hex fasteners are common. Typical applications include equipment panel assembly, mechanical fastener removal, and fixture installation across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. The 1/4 inch SAE hex bit size covers a wide range of standard fastener heads found in domestic equipment and machinery. Sold individually, this socket integrates directly into existing 3/8 inch drive tool sets.
