Built from alloy steel and processed through a proprietary heat treat method, it delivers a 6-point hex drive interface in an 8mm socket size with an overall length of 2 inches. The heat treat process is engineered to increase strength and extend bit life compared to standard production methods. Tighter manufacturing tolerances produce a more consistent fit to fasteners, which improves torque transfer and reduces the risk of rounding. This socket is suited for professional technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8MM23 fits standard-length applications where an 8mm metric fastener must be driven with impact force. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work, equipment assembly, and maintenance tasks. The 3\/8 inch drive size is common on mid-torque impact guns and hand ratchets, making this socket widely compatible with existing tool inventories on service vans and shop benches. Meets ANSI and DIN standards, confirming dimensional and performance conformance for professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProprietary steel and heat treat process for greater strength and longer service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point hex drive design for improved torque transfer and reduced fastener rounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTighter manufacturing tolerances for consistent fastener fit across the product line\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and DIN standards for dimensional and performance compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMetric sizing — 8mm socket for 3\/8 inch drive impact tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard overall length of 2 inches for general-access fastener locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and hand ratchets requiring an 8mm metric socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure the impact wrench or ratchet is powered down or depressurized before changing sockets. Seat the socket fully onto the drive anvil until the detent ball engages to prevent socket ejection during operation. Do not use impact sockets on torque-sensitive fasteners without a calibrated torque wrench for final specification confirmation. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Sparking\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, DIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8MM23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540832158002,"sku":"8MM23","price":27.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c7d8ccb591ec63f14a740173fd757b22.jpg?v=1785864459","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-8mm23-impact-socket-3-8-in-drive-8mm-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
