Apex 82502 Ball Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 82502 is a 6 MM metric ball end hex bit socket with a 3/8 inch drive, built for trade professionals who need reliable access to internal hex fasteners in tight or awkward spaces. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended tool life. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, providing the strength required for high-torque applications. The ball end design allows up to a 25-degree entry angle, making it possible to engage fasteners that a straight hex bit cannot reach. This socket is sold individually and weighs 0.12 pounds.

This bit socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade work where internal hex fasteners are common. It is particularly useful in confined installations where straight-on fastener access is not available, such as equipment panels, valve assemblies, and structural brackets. At 1.654 inches in length, it fits compact spaces without sacrificing drive engagement.

Key Features

• Ball end hex bit allows up to a 25-degree entry angle for hard-to-reach fasteners
• S2 steel bit construction for maximum strength under torque
• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for long service life
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and drive tools
• 6 MM metric sizing for metric fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting metric hex bit sockets.

Installation Notes

This bit socket is used by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working with internal hex fasteners. Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent slipping or fastener damage. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use in critical applications, and replace if the hex profile shows rounding.
