Apex 80491 Socket 3/8 Drive 12 Point 15 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80491 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point, 15 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in demanding trade and mechanical service environments. Built to handle high-torque applications, this socket features an off-corner loading design that transfers force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding worn or corroded hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in busy shop or field conditions. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC equipment service, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical maintenance where a 3/8 inch drive tool is the standard. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions for working in tight or restricted access areas. At 0.984 inches in length, it fits a standard-depth application profile and pairs with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. It is sold individually.

• 15 MM metric sizing, hard-stamped for permanent, easy-to-read identification

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Licensed mechanics and trade professionals should ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque.
