Apex 82504 Ball Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 8 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 82504 is a 3/8 inch drive ball end hex bit socket designed for driving internal hex fasteners in confined or angled locations. The socket base is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended service life. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, which provides high strength under impact and torsional loads. The ball end geometry allows up to a 25-degree entry angle, making it practical for fasteners that are obstructed or recessed in tight assemblies. This socket is sized at 8 MM and is intended for professional tradespeople, mechanics, and technicians working with metric hex fasteners.

This bit socket is suited for use in mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and general construction applications where metric internal hex fasteners are present. The 3/8 inch drive interface is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The ball end design is especially useful during equipment assembly, panel removal, and service work where fastener access is limited by surrounding components or structure.

Key Features

• Ball end hex bit allows up to a 25-degree entry angle for angled fastener access
• S2 steel bit construction for high torsional strength and impact resistance
• Heat-treated alloy steel socket base for long tool life
• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 8 MM metric sizing for common metric hex fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct addition for 3/8 inch drive tool sets requiring metric ball end hex bit sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople. Always ensure the drive tool is fully engaged with the socket before applying torque. De-energize or shut down equipment before accessing internal hex fasteners on live systems. Do not use with impact drivers unless the socket and bit are rated for impact use.
