Apex 80515D 3/8 in Drive 12 Pt 5/8 in Deep Socket

Product Description

The APEX 80515D is a deep-length socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it features a 12-point configuration and fits 5/8 inch fasteners. At 2.5 inches in length, the deep profile provides the reach needed to seat onto fasteners recessed below a surface or extended with a stud. Large hard-stamped markings make size identification fast in a tool tray or bag. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general trade use by professional technicians and skilled tradespeople.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive tooling including ratchets, torque wrenches, extension bars, and universal joints. The deep length makes it well suited for spark plug access, bolt-and-stud assemblies, and any fastener that cannot be reached with a standard or mid-length socket. The 12-point design allows engagement at 30-degree increments, giving the user more handle positions in tight quarters. Applicable across HVAC service, plumbing rough-in, electrical panel work, and general mechanical repair where 5/8 inch fasteners are encountered.
