Apex cds49n 3/8 Drive 12PT Metric Socket 19mm

Product Description

The APEX cds49n is a 3/8 inch drive, 12-point standard metric socket sized at 19mm. Built from Crestoloy alloy steel, it delivers the strength required for demanding fastener work in professional trade environments. The off-corner loading design contacts the flat faces of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. This socket meets or exceeds ASME performance requirements, making it a reliable choice for licensed mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and other trade professionals who depend on hand tools that hold up under daily use.

The cds49n is suited for general-purpose metric fastener applications across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Its 19mm size makes it a common fit for bolts and nuts found in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and mechanical assemblies. The 3/8 inch drive interface is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars, making it easy to integrate into an existing socket set.
