Apex 80533 Socket 3/8 Drive 12 Point 19MM Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80533 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point, 19 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional-grade fastener work. The 12-point geometry provides multiple engagement positions in tight spaces, while the off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fasteners during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy shop or field environment. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and allows for easy cleaning. At 0.25 pounds and 2.5 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for everyday mechanical and electrical trade use.

This socket is appropriate for a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment service, electrical panel work, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical maintenance. The 3/8 inch drive size is the most common mid-range drive standard, compatible with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches found in most service kits. The 19 MM size is frequently used on metric fasteners found in residential and commercial equipment, including condenser units, air handlers, and other trade equipment with metric hardware.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand when attaching to a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque fasteners. Technicians should select the correct socket size for each fastener to prevent damage to hardware.
