Apex 80513 Deep Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point 1/2 in

Product Description

The APEX 80513 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it fits 1/2 inch fasteners and is engineered for use in tight or recessed locations where a standard-length socket cannot reach. The 12-point configuration provides 30-degree incremental engagement, useful in confined spaces. Off-corner loading directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast on a crowded tool cart or in a parts tray.

This socket is suited for general mechanical and trade work including HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture work, electrical panel and equipment mounting, and pool equipment installation. The deep-length profile accommodates long bolts, studs, and recessed fastener heads that standard sockets cannot engage. Sold individually, it fits into any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench setup.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified trade technician should confirm fastener torque requirements before use. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use. Follow applicable equipment service manuals and safety lockout/tagout procedures when working on powered systems.
