Apex 84401 Impact Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive Hex

Product Description

The APEX 84401 is a standard-length impact bit socket with a 3/8 inch drive and 3/8 inch hex bit configuration. Built from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, this socket is engineered to handle the high-torque demands of pneumatic and electric impact tools. A manganese phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance for use in shop and field environments. Laser-etched markings and secondary hard stamping keep the size clearly readable even after heavy use. Off-corner loading geometry reduces fastener rounding, extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. This socket is sold individually and is suited for professional tradespeople including electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors who require reliable impact-rated tooling.

The APEX 84401 fits standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and impact drivers used in residential and commercial trade work. The hex bit configuration makes it appropriate for driving hex-head fasteners and bolts in tight spaces where a standard socket profile is required. At 2.36 inches in length, it falls within the standard reach category, making it practical for most accessible fastener locations on mechanical equipment, panels, and structural assemblies.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for 3/8 inch drive impact tools requiring a hex bit socket configuration.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for installation and removal tasks performed by licensed tradespeople using impact-rated tools. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet tools beyond their rated capacity, and inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
