Apex 80593 Socket 3/8 Inch Drive 6 Point 1 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 80593 is a 1-inch, 6-point chrome socket designed for 3/8-inch drive tools. It features a full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and long service life in shop and field environments. The off-corner loading design transfers torque to the flat faces of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under heavy load. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a cluttered tool tray. At 2.5 inches in length, this is a standard-depth socket suited to general fastener work across a wide range of trades.

This socket is a practical fit for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades that rely on 3/8-inch drive ratchets and extensions. It handles 1-inch fasteners found on equipment flanges, pipe fittings, electrical panel hardware, and mechanical assemblies. The standard depth makes it the go-to choice when fastener access is not obstructed and a compact profile is preferred over a deep-well design.

Key Features

• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Off-corner loading design applies force to fastener flats, not corners
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and cleans easily
• Hard-stamped size markings for quick, reliable identification
• Standard depth at 2.5 inches suits the majority of unobstructed fastener applications
• 3/8-inch square drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-inch drive socket compatible with 3/8-inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, breaker bars, and extensions using a standard square-drive interface.

Installation Notes

This socket is used by licensed tradespeople and mechanical technicians during equipment service, installation, and repair. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage or socket ejection. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and never use hand-socket tools with impact drivers unless the socket is impact-rated.
