Apex 80483 Socket 3/8 Drive 12 Point 7 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80483 is a 7 MM, 12-point, full polish chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive. It is designed for removing and installing fasteners in mechanical and industrial service applications. The off-corner loading design places force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or worn fasteners. Large, hard-stamped size markings make it easy to identify the socket quickly in a tool tray or pouch. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece hand tool suited for professional technicians across a range of trades.

This socket is a standard-length, general-purpose tool appropriate for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work wherever a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar is used. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in greasy or dirty environments. It is sold individually and is well-suited for adding to an existing socket set or replacing a worn piece.
