Apex 80503 Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point 11/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80503 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket sized at 11/16 inch for SAE fastener applications. Constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, this socket is built for professional use in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work. The 12-point design allows engagement from multiple angles, and the off-corner loading geometry applies force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in a cluttered tool bag or socket tray. At 0.984 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for most accessible fastener positions.

This socket is appropriate for residential and commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar is the preferred tool. It covers a wide range of SAE fastener applications including equipment panels, mechanical assemblies, and utility connections. Installers working in tight quarters will find the 12-point configuration useful for partial-swing ratcheting situations. The socket is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or addition to an existing 3/8 inch drive set.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive, 12-point design for multi-angle fastener engagement
• 11/16 inch SAE sizing for common fastener applications
• Full polish alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Large hard-stamped markings for fast size identification on the job
• Standard length at 0.984 inches suits most open-access fastener positions

Compatibility

Compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. Designed as a direct-fit SAE socket for trade and mechanical service applications requiring a 12-point 11/16 inch socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar rated for the application. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, particularly in high-cycle service environments. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless the socket is rated for impact use.
