Apex 80594 Socket 3/8 in Drive 12 Pt 15/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80594 is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket in 15/16 inch SAE sizing, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use in professional hand-tool applications where durability and fast fastener engagement matter. The 12-point configuration allows entry onto a fastener at multiple angles, and the off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Hard-stamped size markings remain legible through heavy use. At 0.46 pounds and 2.5 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for tight quarters and general service work.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is intended for use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial maintenance settings where SAE fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include engine service, chassis work, HVAC equipment fastening, and general mechanical assembly. The standard length makes it a practical choice for most above-surface fastener locations where a deep socket is not required.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive accepts standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 12-point design provides multiple engagement angles for easier socket placement
• Off-corner loading directs force to fastener flats, reducing rounding risk
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Large hard-stamped markings for quick size identification in the field

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, breaker bars, and torque wrenches accepting SAE sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand tool technicians in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service environments. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Do not use impact drivers or air tools unless the socket is rated for impact service. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damaged.
