Apex 80431 Bit Socket 3/8 Drive Hex 10 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80431 is a standard-length hex bit socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. The socket body is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended tool life. The hex bit is manufactured from S2 steel, a high-strength tool steel well suited for impact-resistant fastener driving. At 1.968 inches in length and weighing 0.14 pounds, this socket is compact enough for tight-access work while maintaining the rigidity needed for high-torque applications. It drives 10 MM internal hex fasteners in a standard configuration.

This socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance applications where internal hex fasteners are common. Technicians use it to remove and install fasteners on engines, drivetrain components, and machinery assemblies. The 3/8 inch drive size balances torque capacity with maneuverability, making it a practical choice for both bench work and in-vehicle service. It is sold individually and fits standard 3/8 inch drive tool sets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any 3/8 inch drive tool. Ensure the drive detent fully engages the socket before applying torque. When working on vehicles or machinery, disconnect power or disable the ignition as appropriate before accessing fasteners on electrical or drivetrain components. Inspect the socket and bit for wear or deformation before use to avoid fastener damage.
