Apex 80489 Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point 13 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80489 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point, 13 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in mechanical and trade service environments. Built to handle frequent use, it features an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in a busy tool bag or cart. At 0.06 pounds and 0.984 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general-purpose fastener work.

This socket is well suited for automotive, industrial, and mechanical service applications where a 3/8 inch drive tool is the appropriate drive size. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point, making it easier to work in tighter spaces with limited swing arc. Technicians in HVAC, equipment maintenance, and general mechanical service will find this socket fits naturally into standard 3/8 inch drive sets.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive with 12-point configuration for frequent ratchet repositioning in confined spaces
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding during heavy torque application
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Hard-stamped 13 MM size marking for quick, reliable identification
• Compact standard length at 0.984 inches suits most exposed fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard addition to 3/8 inch drive socket sets used in mechanical and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by qualified mechanics and trade technicians working on mechanical fasteners. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and replace any socket showing visible deformation. Use with a calibrated torque wrench when fastener specifications require controlled torque values.
