It is designed for professional trade use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work where reliable fastener engagement and long service life are required. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a cluttered tool bag or tray. At 0.29 pounds and 2.5 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited to tight and moderate-clearance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket fits standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. It is well suited to residential and light commercial service calls where technicians need a dependable SAE socket set for equipment panels, access covers, mechanical fasteners, and bracket hardware. The 12-point geometry provides more engagement positions than a 6-point in confined spaces, making it useful when swing arc is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and extends service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHard-stamped size markings remain legible through heavy use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point configuration allows more ratchet engagement positions in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction handles high-torque fastener removal and installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 2.5 inches fits most moderate-clearance service scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, extensions, and adapters.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before load is applied to avoid slippage. Do not use impact-rated drive tools with chrome hand sockets unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and retire any damaged tooling immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Count\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement System\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Polish Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.29 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51342950990130,"sku":"80516","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310497958.jpg?v=1782011664","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-80516-socket-3-8-in-drive-12-point-11-16-in-sae","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
