Apex 80424 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 0.625 in 3 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80424 is a hex bit socket designed for driving internal hex fasteners in professional trade and mechanical service applications. Built on a heat-treated alloy steel base socket, this 3/8 inch drive tool accepts a 0.625 inch, 3 MM hex bit manufactured from S2 steel for high-torque resistance and extended service life. The combination of a hardened alloy base and S2 bit material makes it suited for repetitive fastening tasks where socket and bit durability are critical. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical tradespeople rely on hex bit sockets for equipment panels, access covers, and mechanical assemblies.

This socket is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial service environments where 3/8 inch drive tooling is standard. It is sold as a single unit and fits into standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 3 MM hex size targets smaller fastener applications commonly found in equipment mounting hardware, valve assemblies, and panel components. At 1.653 inches in length, it fits into moderately confined spaces without an extension.

Key Features

• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for durability under repeated use
• S2 steel hex bit for maximum strength and resistance to cam-out
• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 0.625 inch, 3 MM hex size for internal hex fasteners
• Compact 1.653 inch length for access in tighter fastener locations
• Sold as a single unit with a UOM of each

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch drive hex bit socket compatible with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches requiring a 3 MM internal hex bit.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Inspect the bit tip before use for wear or deformation that could damage fastener heads. Apply drive tools in line with the fastener axis to prevent socket or fastener damage. Follow equipment manufacturer torque requirements when reassembling fasteners on pressurized or load-bearing components.
