Apex 80422 Bit Socket 3/8 Drive Hex 0.625 in 2MM Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 80422 is a 3/8 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in professional trade and mechanical service applications. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for structural durability and extended tool life. The hex bit insert is manufactured from S2 steel, a tool-grade material chosen for its resistance to torsional stress and deformation under high-torque use. At 1.653 inches in length and 0.15 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight socket suited for tight-access work. It is sold individually and fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

This bit socket is intended for use by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who work with internal hex fasteners on equipment, machinery, and structural assemblies. The 0.625 inch (2 MM) hex bit size covers a common range of fastener sizes found in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies. It is appropriate for both bench work and in-field service calls where precision fastener control is required.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by trade professionals and mechanical service technicians. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application before use. Inspect the bit tip for wear or rounding before each use, as a worn S2 bit can slip and damage fastener heads. Do not use impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
