Apex 80462 External Torx Socket 3/8 Drive E14

Product Description

The APEX 80462 is a 3/8 inch drive external Torx socket in E14 size, finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. Designed for use with manual drive tools only, this socket engages external Torx fasteners found throughout automotive, equipment, and mechanical assemblies. At 0.16 pounds and 1.24 inches in length, it is a compact, purpose-built tool suited for technicians working in tight spaces. The black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and light rust in typical shop environments.

This socket is intended for trade and professional use in automotive service, mechanical maintenance, and equipment repair where external Torx fasteners are specified. The E14 external Torx profile fits hex-lobed bolt heads and studs common in engine, suspension, and drivetrain applications. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches rated for manual operation.
