Apex 80463 External Torx Socket 3/8 Drive E16

Product Description

The APEX 80463 is a 3/8 inch drive external Torx socket in size E16, finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. Designed for use on external Torx fasteners, this socket is rated for manual drive tools only and is not intended for impact use. At 1.24 inches in length and 0.18 pounds, it is a compact, purpose-built hand tool socket suited for automotive, industrial, and mechanical service work. Trade professionals rely on external Torx sockets when servicing components such as brake calipers, engine accessories, and chassis hardware that use star-profile fastener heads.

This socket is appropriate for use in automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and general mechanical service environments. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The E16 size addresses a common external Torx fastener found across a wide range of vehicle and equipment applications. Manual drive use ensures the black oxide finish and socket body are not subjected to the stress loads of power impact tools.
