Apex 84338N Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point Deep

Product Description

The APEX 84338N is a deep impact socket with a 3/8 inch drive and 6-point configuration, built for professional fastener work in demanding environments. Constructed from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, this socket delivers the strength and toughness required for high-torque impact tool use. A manganese phosphate black oxide coating provides corrosion resistance for long service life in the field. Laser etched markings combined with a secondary hard-stamped size designation keep identification fast and reliable even in low-light conditions. Off-corner loading geometry reduces the likelihood of rounding fastener heads during removal and installation.

This deep socket is suited for automotive, fleet, and industrial maintenance applications where extended reach is required to seat fully on recessed or long-fastener hardware. The 3/8 inch drive fits standard 3/8 inch impact wrenches and ratchets. It is appropriate for use by automotive technicians, equipment mechanics, and maintenance professionals who require a reliable deep socket for repetitive impact use in production or service shop environments.

Key Features

• Chrome molybdenum alloy steel construction for high-torque impact resistance
• Manganese phosphate black oxide coating resists corrosion
• 6-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding
• Deep socket profile provides extended reach on recessed fasteners
• Laser etched markings with secondary hard-stamped size for fast identification
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard impact wrenches and ratchets

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit deep impact socket for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and hand ratchets requiring a 6-point deep socket configuration.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket using a compatible 3/8 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Do not use impact sockets on hand-tool-only drive mechanisms rated below the applied load. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
