Apex 84429n 3/8 Drive 7/8 Deep Impact Socket 6 Point Sae

Product Description

The APEX 84429n is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point deep impact SAE socket sized at 7/8 inch. Constructed from Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo), it delivers the strength and toughness required for high-torque impact wrench applications. The deep profile allows full engagement on long fasteners, studs, and recessed bolt heads. An off-corner loading design transfers drive force away from fastener corners, reducing rounding under load. Licensed tradespeople, fleet mechanics, and industrial technicians use this socket where standard-depth sockets cannot reach. Laser-etched markings provide high-visibility size identification, and secondary hard stamping ensures the label remains legible after heavy field use.

This socket is suited for both residential and commercial mechanical work wherever 3/8 inch drive impact tools are used. Typical applications include fastener removal and installation on HVAC equipment, electrical panels, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies. The 7/8 inch SAE sizing fits common structural and equipment fasteners found across trade disciplines. The deep socket profile is especially useful when working on threaded rod, capped studs, or fasteners recessed inside equipment housings.

Key Features

• Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo) construction for impact-rated strength
• 6-point deep socket profile for full fastener engagement on long or recessed hardware
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high-torque conditions
• Manganese Phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• High-visibility laser-etched size markings for quick identification
• Secondary hard stamping ensures size label durability through extended field use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Compatible with 3/8 inch drive extensions, adapters, and torque tools following standard SAE drive configurations.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified mechanics and trade professionals operating 3/8 inch drive impact or hand-ratchet tools. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use impact sockets with hand-only chrome sockets or mix drive sizes through unapproved adapters. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
