Constructed from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, it delivers the torsional strength needed to handle high-torque impact tool use without fatigue or failure. A manganese phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance, extending service life in demanding shop and field environments. Laser-etched markings paired with a secondary hard stamping keep size identification readable even after heavy use. This universal joint is sold individually and is designed for tradespeople who work with impact drivers and wrenches daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis universal joint is suited for automotive, mechanical, and industrial service work where straight-line access to a fastener is not possible. The 3\/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with a broad range of impact sockets and extensions commonly used in HVAC equipment service, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical assembly. Its chrome molybdenum construction handles the repetitive shock loads that standard chrome vanadium universals are not rated for. At 2.008 inches in length and 0.2 pounds, it adds minimal bulk to a socket setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome molybdenum alloy steel construction for high-torque impact durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManganese phosphate coating resists corrosion and reduces surface friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaser-etched markings with secondary hard stamping for lasting size identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive sizing fits a wide range of impact sockets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 2.008 inch length minimizes added tool stack height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually, compatible with open-stock socket sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental component for 3\/8 inch drive impact socket sets used in professional trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this universal joint requires no special tools beyond the impact wrench or ratchet it is paired with. Ensure the impact tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before attaching or removing any drive accessories. Inspect the joint for wear or play before each use, as a worn universal joint under impact loads can fail unexpectedly. This accessory should be used only with impact-rated sockets and extensions, not standard chrome hand-tool sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.008 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Manganese Phosphate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 099575805486\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 80548N\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347615351090,"sku":"80548N","price":26.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310497962.jpg?v=1782109616","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-80548n-impact-universal-joint-3-8-inch-drive","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
