Apex 84323n 3/8 Drive Deep Impact Socket 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 84323n is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point deep impact SAE socket sized at 3/8 inch. Built from Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo), it is engineered for the high-torque demands of impact driver work in trade and industrial settings. The deep profile allows the socket to seat fully over extended fasteners, studs, and recessed bolt heads. An off-corner loading design shifts contact away from the fastener corners, reducing the risk of rounding under heavy torque. Manganese phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance in wet, oily, or outdoor environments. High-visibility laser-etched markings and secondary hard stamping keep the size readable throughout the tool's service life.

This socket is suited for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC service work where impact-rated tooling is required. The 3/8 inch drive size is standard for mid-range torque applications and is compatible with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. The deep socket length makes it especially practical for automotive, equipment maintenance, and mechanical room fastener work where bolt shanks extend beyond the surface.

Key Features

• Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo) construction for impact-rated strength and durability
• 6-point contact geometry for maximum torque transfer on SAE fasteners
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Deep socket profile accommodates extended studs and recessed fastener heads
• Manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion in wet and oily conditions
• High-visibility laser-etched markings with secondary hard stamping for lasting size identification

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, air tools, and ratchets. Rated for impact use and fits SAE 3/8 inch fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working with impact drivers or ratchets. Ensure the drive tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not exceed the impact rating of the drive tool. Impact sockets should not be used with standard hand-ratchet extensions not rated for impact loads.
