Product Description

The APEX 80549 is a 3/8 inch drive universal joint finished in full polish chrome. Universal joints allow a socket and ratchet to work at an angle, giving technicians access to fasteners in tight or awkward positions. This joint is sold as a single piece and weighs 0.15 pounds with a length of 2 inches. It is a standard hand tool used daily in automotive, fleet, and light mechanical service environments by professional technicians and experienced DIYers alike.

This universal joint fits into standard 3/8 inch drive tool setups.
