Apex 82505 Ball Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 9 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 82505 is a 9 MM metric ball hex bit socket with a 3/8 inch drive, designed for professional tradespeople who need reliable access to internal hex fasteners in confined or angled positions. The socket base is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for long service life, while the bit is manufactured from S2 steel to handle high-torque applications without deforming. The ball end geometry allows up to a 25-degree entry angle, making it practical for fasteners that are difficult to reach with a straight-drive tool. At 1.968 inches in length and 0.14 pounds, it is compact enough for tight work envelopes.

This bit socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and general trade work where metric internal hex fasteners are common. It is appropriate for both residential and commercial service settings. The 3/8 inch drive is compatible with standard ratchets, extension bars, and torque wrenches of the same drive size, making it easy to integrate into an existing socket set. The 9 MM size covers fasteners commonly found in equipment panels, motor mounts, and bracket hardware.

Key Features

• Ball end hex bit allows up to 25-degree entry angle for hard-to-reach fasteners
• Bit manufactured from S2 steel for high-torque strength and resistance to deformation
• Heat-treated alloy steel socket base for durability and extended tool life
• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 9 MM metric sizing at 1.968 inches overall length

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches requiring a metric ball hex bit socket.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by hand onto a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use on fasteners, as a worn S2 bit can strip internal hex heads. No power tools are required for setup.
