Apex 82506 Ball Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 10 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 82506 is a ball end hex bit socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions. The socket features a heat-treated alloy steel base for durability and a S2 steel bit for maximum strength under torque. At 0.906 inches in socket length and an overall length of 1.968 inches, this tool is built for reaching internal hex fasteners in confined spaces. The ball end design allows up to a 25-degree entry angle, letting technicians work at offset angles where a standard hex bit socket cannot fit. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals will find this socket useful for equipment panel fasteners and assembly work.

This bit socket is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where internal hex fasteners are common. It is sold individually and works with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. The 10 MM hex size covers a wide range of metric fasteners found in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture assemblies, and mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand onto any 3/8 inch drive tool. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque to prevent rounding of the fastener or damage to the bit. Do not use impact drivers or impact wrenches with this socket unless the tool is rated for impact use. Inspect the bit tip for wear before each use and replace if deformation is visible.
