Apex 80502 Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point 5/8 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80502 is a 5/8 inch, 12-point SAE socket with a 3/8 inch drive, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. At 0.984 inches in length and 0.09 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight socket suited for fastener work in tight spaces. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing rounding and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification easy on the job. It is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals during equipment service and assembly tasks.

This socket is well suited for residential and light commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive tool is standard. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, making it practical in confined areas where swing arc is limited. The 5/8 inch SAE sizing covers common fastener sizes found on equipment panels, mounting hardware, and mechanical assemblies across trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping.
