Apex 80518 Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Point 13/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80518 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket sized at 13/16 inch SAE, built from alloy steel for durability in professional service environments. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and allows for easy cleaning. Off-corner loading distributes torque force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during removal. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification possible in a busy toolbox or socket rail. At 0.4 pounds and 2.5 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general fastening tasks across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work.

The 80518 fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 13/16 inch SAE sizing covers a common fastener dimension found in residential and light commercial mechanical systems, including equipment access panels, pipe flanges, and electrical enclosure hardware. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians working in the field will find this socket a practical addition to a 3/8 inch drive set.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable safety protocols. Always confirm the socket seats fully on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding or slippage. De-energize electrical systems and shut off mechanical equipment before servicing fastened components in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical panels. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damaged.
