Apex 84324N Deep Socket 7/16 in 6 Point 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The APEX 84324N is a 7/16-inch, 6-point deep socket designed for professional automotive and industrial use. Built from chrome molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers the strength and corrosion resistance needed for demanding service environments. The 3/8-inch square drive and deep-well profile allow technicians to reach fasteners on extended bolts, studs, and recessed hardware that standard-depth sockets cannot access. At 2.48 inches in overall length and 0.160 pounds, it fits naturally into a socket set without adding bulk. This is a workhorse hand tool suited for daily shop use.

This deep socket is a practical fit for automotive service bays, fleet maintenance, and light industrial applications where SAE fasteners are common. The 6-point design engages bolt flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads under torque. It is appropriate for use with 3/8-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in both under-hood and chassis work.

Key Features

• 7/16-inch SAE size in a deep-well profile for extended fastener reach
• 6-point geometry contacts bolt flats to reduce fastener rounding
• Chrome molybdenum steel construction for high strength and impact resistance
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and low-glare surface
• 3/8-inch drive compatibility with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• Compact weight of 0.160 pounds for easy handling and tray storage

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and service socket for use with 3/8-inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches in SAE deep-socket applications.

Installation Notes

Licensed automotive technicians and mechanics are the primary users of this socket. Before service, ensure the vehicle ignition is off and the system being worked on is depressurized or de-energized as appropriate. Confirm the drive size match between the socket and ratchet or torque wrench before applying load. Do not use deep sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
