Apex 80484 Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point 8 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80484 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point, 8 MM chrome socket designed for professional tradespeople who need reliable hand tools on the job. Built with a full polish chrome finish, this socket resists corrosion and wipes clean easily in demanding work environments. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast even in low-light conditions. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any socket set.

This socket is suited for use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where 8 MM fasteners are encountered. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 12-point design provides more engagement positions in tight spaces, making it practical for service calls where access is restricted. It is sold individually, making it easy to replace a single missing or worn socket without purchasing a full set.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a properly rated 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers, as hand-rated sockets are not designed for impact forces.
