Apex 82517 Long Torx Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive T40

Product Description

The APEX 82517 is a long Torx bit socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions, intended for accessing internal Torx fasteners in deep or obstructed locations. The socket base is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for structural durability, while the bit is manufactured from S2 steel to handle the torsional stress of high-torque fastener driving. At 4.922 inches in overall length, this socket provides the reach needed for recessed fastener applications common in automotive, equipment, and industrial service work. It drives T40 Torx fasteners. Mechanics, field technicians, and maintenance professionals working on assemblies with deep-set or hard-to-reach Torx fasteners will find this tool fits standard 3/8 inch drive setups without adapters.

This bit socket is suited for automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, and general mechanical service where T40 internal Torx fasteners are installed in recessed or obstructed positions. The extended length distinguishes it from standard-depth bit sockets and reduces the need for bit extensions in many applications. It is sold individually and is compatible with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Accepts T40 internal Torx fasteners. Sold as an individual unit.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench following the fastener manufacturer's torque specification. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener recess before applying torque to prevent cam-out and fastener damage. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use, particularly in high-cycle applications. No special certifications are required to use hand tools, but always follow applicable workplace safety and equipment service guidelines.
