The socket features a heat-treated alloy steel base for durability, while the bit is manufactured from S2 steel for high-strength performance under torque. The ball end design allows up to a 25-degree entry angle, making it possible to engage internal hex fasteners in tight or obstructed locations. At 4.922 inches in length, this long-series socket reaches fasteners recessed in deep cavities where standard-length sockets fall short. Intended for use by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trades working with metric hex fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit socket is suited for residential and commercial service work wherever 10 MM internal hex fasteners are used. Common applications include equipment assembly, mechanical repairs, and maintenance tasks requiring access to recessed or angled fasteners. The long reach and ball end geometry are particularly useful in automotive, HVAC, and general mechanical service environments where fastener clearance is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBall end design allows up to 25-degree entry angle for angled fastener access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eS2 steel bit construction for high-strength, high-torque applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-treated alloy steel base socket for long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong series length of 4.922 inches for deep or recessed fastener reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10 MM hex size for metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 3\/8 inch drive bit sockets.

Power down or de-energize any equipment before removing or installing fasteners on live assemblies. Inspect the bit tip for wear or chipping before use, as a damaged bit can strip fastener sockets. This socket is intended for hand-tool use with 3\/8 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.922 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (package spec)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: S2 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Socket Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heat-Treated Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80448\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344619209010,"sku":"80448","price":23.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551787.jpg?v=1782038072","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-80448-long-ball-hex-bit-socket-3-8-in-drive-10-mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
