Apex 84431n 3/8 Drive 1 in Deep Impact Socket 6 Pt Sae

Product Description

The APEX 84431n is a 3/8 inch drive, 1 inch deep impact socket designed for professional-grade fastener work. Built from chrome molybdenum alloy steel (Cr-Mo), this 6-point SAE socket delivers the strength and toughness required for high-torque impact tool applications. The deep profile accommodates extended fastener lengths, studs, and recessed hardware that standard-depth sockets cannot reach. An off-corner loading design transfers drive force away from fastener corners, reducing the risk of rounding under heavy load. A manganese phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance in wet, oily, and outdoor service environments. High-visibility laser-etched markings and secondary hard stamping ensure size identification remains legible through extended field use.

This socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, fleet maintenance, and industrial assembly applications where impact-rated tooling is required. The 3/8 inch drive interface is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars. The deep well design is particularly useful when working on suspension components, wheel hardware, engine fasteners, and any application involving long-shank bolts or exposed stud ends. Licensed technicians and skilled tradespeople will find this socket a direct fit for daily shop use or field service work.

Key Features

• Chrome molybdenum alloy steel (Cr-Mo) construction for impact-rated strength
• 6-point socket design for maximum contact with fastener flats
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion in harsh environments
• Deep well profile reaches recessed fasteners, studs, and extended bolts
• High-visibility laser-etched markings with secondary hard stamping for lasting size identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fit for 3/8 inch drive impact tools requiring a 1 inch SAE deep socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive impact wrench, ratchet, or breaker bar rated for the torque demands of the application. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and remove from service if damage is found. This socket is intended for impact tool use; it is also compatible with hand-drive ratchets for lower-torque applications.
