Apex 80504 Socket 3/8 Drive 12 Point 3/4 Inch Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80504 is a 3/4 inch SAE, 12-point chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for fastener removal and installation in a wide range of mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications. The 12-point design provides more engagement positions around a fastener head, and the off-corner loading geometry directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Large hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a tool bag or socket tray. At 0.984 inches in length and 0.12 pounds, this is a standard-length socket suited for close-quarters and general use.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. It is well suited for residential and light commercial service work where a 3/4 inch SAE fastener is common, including equipment mounting hardware, panel fasteners, and mechanical assembly. Sold individually, it can be added to an existing socket set or used as a replacement for a worn or missing size.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive accepts standard ratchets, extensions, and adapters
• 12-point design provides more positioning options in tight spaces
• Off-corner loading directs force to fastener flats to reduce rounding
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Large hard-stamped markings for fast size identification
• Standard length at 0.984 inches for general-purpose use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch drive socket compatible with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, torque wrench, or impact-rated adapter of the same drive size.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians performing fastener service. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if the drive recess or socket walls show deformation. Do not use standard chrome sockets with pneumatic or hydraulic impact tools unless the socket is rated for impact use.
