Apex 80423 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 0.625 in

Product Description

The APEX 80423 is a standard-length hex bit socket designed for driving internal hex fasteners with a 3/8 inch drive. The socket base is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended service life. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, a grade known for high impact strength and resistance to cam-out under heavy torque loads. At 1.653 inches in length and 0.09 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight tool suited for tight-access fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. It is sold individually.

This bit socket is well-suited for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades who regularly encounter internal hex fasteners on equipment panels, motor mounts, and piping hardware. The 0.625 inch hex size addresses common fastener dimensions found in light commercial and residential equipment service. The 3/8 inch drive interface is compatible with standard ratchets, extension bars, and torque wrenches used in day-to-day field and shop work.
