Apex 80517 Deep Socket 3/8 Drive 12 Point 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 80517 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 3/8 inch drive tools and sized to fit 3/4 inch fasteners. Constructed from alloy steel with a full-polish chrome finish, it is built for repeated use in demanding trade environments. The 12-point configuration and off-corner loading design apply force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Hard-stamped size markings stay legible through heavy use. At 2.5 inches in length, the deep profile reaches recessed fasteners that standard-length sockets cannot access.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where fasteners are recessed, stacked with hardware, or otherwise inaccessible to shallow sockets. The 3/8 inch drive fits mid-range ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars common in service and installation kits. Sold individually, it fits into existing 3/8 inch drive socket sets without requiring additional adapters.

Key Features

• Deep-length profile at 2.5 inches reaches recessed fasteners
• 12-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding
• Alloy steel construction with full-polish chrome finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• Hard-stamped markings provide lasting size identification
• 3/8 inch drive compatibility works with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches; sized for 3/4 inch 12-point fasteners in standard trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench as required by the application. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact-rated tools with chrome hand sockets unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.
