Apex 80514 Deep Socket 3/8 Drive 12 Point 9/16 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 80514 is a deep-length, 12-point chrome socket designed for 3/8 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full-polish chrome finish, it fits 9/16 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. At 2.5 inches in length, the deep profile provides clearance for recessed fasteners, extended studs, and bolt-heavy assemblies common in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service work.

This socket suits residential and light commercial service environments where technicians need reach into tight or deep fastener locations. It is well-suited for equipment installations, panel work, and mechanical assemblies that require a deep socket to seat fully on a fastener. The 3/8 inch drive size is standard across a wide range of ratchets and extension bars used by trade professionals in the field and in the shop.

Key Features

• Deep-length profile at 2.5 inches provides access to recessed and extended fasteners
• 12-point design offers multiple engagement positions for faster ratcheting in confined spaces
• Off-corner loading reduces rounding on worn or soft fasteners
• Alloy steel construction with full-polish chrome finish resists corrosion and cleans easily
• Large, hard-stamped size markings for quick identification in a toolbox or pouch

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits 9/16 inch fasteners in deep-reach applications across general mechanical, HVAC, and plumbing service work.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Confirm the socket seats fully on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Always de-energize or shut off the relevant system before working on fasteners in live electrical panels or pressurized assemblies. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
