Apex 80511 Deep Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 80511 is a deep-length, 12-point chrome socket designed for 3/8 inch drive tools. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it fits 3/8 inch fasteners and delivers reliable torque transfer through an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners. This reduces fastener rounding and extends the working life of both the socket and the hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy tool tray or bag. At 2.5 inches in length, the deep profile clears bolt shanks and recessed fastener heads that standard-length sockets cannot reach.

This socket is suited for mechanical, maintenance, and assembly work across automotive, industrial, and general trade applications. The deep length is especially useful when driving fasteners on long studs, recessed bolts, or applications where a standard socket would bottom out before full engagement. It is sold individually and is compatible with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Key Features

• Deep-length profile at 2.5 inches clears recessed fasteners and long bolt shanks
• 12-point design provides more engagement positions for use in tight spaces
• Off-corner loading puts force on fastener flats, reducing rounding
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Hard-stamped size markings resist wear and remain readable in the field
• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Fits 3/8 inch fasteners in standard hex and 12-point configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, technicians, and trade professionals using standard 3/8 inch drive hand tools. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact-rated tools with this socket unless the product is rated for impact use.
