Apex 80466 Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive Slotted 6 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80466 is a 3/8 inch drive slotted bit socket designed for metric fastener applications. Built on a heat-treated alloy steel base socket, it accepts an S2 steel screwdriver bit for high-torque driving without premature wear. At 1.653 inches in length and weighing 0.1 pounds, this compact socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions. It is sized for 6 MM slotted fasteners and suits technicians who need a durable, drive-tool-compatible alternative to a standard screwdriver in tight or torque-critical installations.

This bit socket is suited for automotive, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical service work where slotted fasteners are present. The 3/8 inch drive interface makes it compatible with the most common mid-size ratchet sets found in professional service bays and field kits. Its metric 6 MM sizing targets equipment and assemblies manufactured to metric standards, including imported HVAC equipment, motor housings, and panel components where slotted drive fasteners are still specified.

Key Features

• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for durability and extended tool life
• S2 steel bit construction for maximum drive strength under high torque
• 3/8 inch drive interface fits standard ratchets and extensions
• Slotted tip sized for 6 MM metric fasteners
• Compact 1.653 inch length for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use bit socket for 3/8 inch drive tool systems requiring a metric slotted screwdriver bit interface.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener slot before applying torque to prevent cam-out and fastener damage. De-energize or shut off equipment before servicing any fastened panels or components. Inspect the S2 bit tip for wear or rounding before each use and replace if deformation is visible.
