Apex 80505 Socket 3/8 Drive 12 Point 13/16 Inch Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80505 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket in 13/16 inch SAE sizing, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use in mechanical and maintenance work where reliable torque transfer and fastener protection are required. The 12-point geometry and off-corner loading design apply force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. Hard-stamped size markings stay legible through regular shop use. At 0.15 pounds and 1.102 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for everyday drive applications.

This socket fits a wide range of fastener removal and installation tasks across automotive, fleet, and general mechanical service environments. The 3/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and drive tools common in professional shop setups. The SAE 13/16 inch sizing is frequently encountered on automotive hardware, making this a practical addition to any drive socket set used in vehicle maintenance or equipment repair.
