Apex 80486 Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point 10 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80486 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point, 10 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service applications. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the service life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in a crowded tool bag. At 0.04 pounds and 0.984 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket built for close-quarters access.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where a compact, reliable 10 MM 12-point socket is needed. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions, making it a practical addition to the toolkit of licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical tradespeople. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean easily on the job.
