Apex 84430n 3/8 Dr 6pt Deep Impact Socket 15/16 in

Product Description

The APEX 84430n is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point deep impact SAE socket sized at 15/16 inch. Machined from Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo), this socket is built to withstand the torque demands of impact wrenches used in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service work. The deep profile provides clearance for longer fasteners and recessed bolt heads that a standard-depth socket cannot reach. Off-corner loading geometry shifts contact away from fastener corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. A manganese phosphate coating adds corrosion resistance for tools stored in humid or outdoor service environments.

The 84430n suits trade professionals who regularly work with impact drivers and air wrenches on equipment installations, equipment mounting hardware, and structural fasteners. The deep socket format is particularly useful when securing nuts on threaded rod, long studs, or flange bolts common in mechanical room installations and rooftop equipment mounting. High-visibility laser-etched size markings and a secondary hard stamping make it easy to confirm the correct socket is in use without removing it from a pouch or rail.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive fits standard 3/8 inch impact wrenches and ratchets
• 6-point contact pattern for maximum torque transfer on hex fasteners
• Deep socket profile for clearance on long studs and recessed fasteners
• Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo) construction for impact-rated strength
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding during high-torque applications
• Manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments
• Dual marking system: laser-etched and hard-stamped size identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit socket for 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extensions using SAE fastener sizing.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians using 3/8 inch drive impact tools or ratchets. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Do not use impact-rated sockets with hand-torque tools where precise torque values are required without a calibrated torque wrench. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and retire any socket showing visible deformation.
