Apex 80580 Hex Bit Socket Set 3/8 in Drive Metric 12pc

Product Description

The APEX 80580 is a 12-piece metric hex bit socket set built for loosening and tightening internal hex fasteners in professional trade and mechanical service applications. The set uses a 3/8 inch drive and covers sizes from 2mm through 12mm. Base sockets are heat-treated alloy steel, and the bits are S2 steel for durability and extended tool life. Sizes included: 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, and 12mm. A socket rail is included for organized storage and jobsite access.

This set is suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades working on equipment that uses metric internal hex fasteners. The standard-length profile fits into confined spaces common in residential and light commercial equipment panels, valve assemblies, and electrical enclosures. The full metric range from 2mm to 12mm covers the majority of fastener sizes encountered in field service work.

Key Features

• 12-piece metric set covers 2mm through 12mm in a single rail
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions
• Heat-treated alloy steel sockets for long service life
• S2 steel bits resist rounding and wear under torque
• Includes socket rail for storage and size identification
• Standard-length profile for versatile access in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting standard square drive tooling.

Installation Notes

Select the correct bit size before applying torque to avoid rounding internal hex fastener heads. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener recess before driving. Inspect bits for wear or deformation periodically, as damaged S2 steel bits can strip fasteners. This tool set should be used by qualified trade professionals following applicable equipment service procedures.
