Apex 84300n 3/8 Drive 6-point Impact Sae Socket 5/16 in

Product Description

The APEX 84300n is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point standard impact SAE socket sized 5/16 inch, built for heavy-duty fastening tasks in professional trade environments. The socket is manufactured from Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo), a material chosen specifically for its high tensile strength and resistance to the stress of impact use. An off-corner loading design shifts contact away from fastener edges, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. A manganese phosphate coating provides a base layer of corrosion resistance, making the socket suitable for use in damp or outdoor service conditions. High-visibility laser-etched size markings and secondary hard stamping ensure the size designation remains legible throughout the life of the tool.

This socket is intended for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets in automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications. It is appropriate for removing and installing standard SAE fasteners where a 5/16 inch 6-point fit is required. The 6-point profile provides maximum surface contact on hex fasteners, reducing slip during high-torque impact use. This socket suits professional technicians, mechanics, and maintenance tradespeople working on vehicles, equipment, or structural assemblies.

Key Features

• Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo) construction for high-strength impact-rated performance
• 6-point profile maximizes contact area on hex fasteners and reduces rounding risk
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion in wet and outdoor conditions
• High-visibility laser-etched size markings for quick socket identification
• Secondary hard stamping provides a permanent backup size marking

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and hand ratchets. Fits standard SAE hex fasteners requiring a 5/16 inch socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for installation and removal of fasteners by qualified mechanics and trade professionals. Ensure the drive tool is rated for impact use before attaching this socket to an impact wrench. Verify the fastener size matches the socket before applying torque to avoid fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
