Built around a 0.375 inch drive, the socket accepts a No. 5 Phillips-style bit with a blade width of 0.629 inches and a blade thickness of 0.079 inches. The overall length is 1.25 inches, keeping the profile compact for use in confined assemblies. This type of socket is installed by mechanics, millwrights, and assembly technicians who need consistent torque transfer on larger Phillips fasteners using a ratchet or torque wrench rather than a hand screwdriver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrag link sockets of this type are suited for production assembly lines, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work where high-torque Phillips fasteners are common. The 0.375 inch square drive interface makes the HTS-5 compatible with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is commonly used on equipment panels, motor mounting hardware, and structural fasteners that require controlled torque rather than freehand driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.375 inch square drive for use with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 5 Phillips point size suits larger fastener heads common in industrial and equipment applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.25 inch overall length provides a compact profile for restricted-access fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlade width of 0.629 inches and blade thickness of 0.079 inches for precise bit-to-fastener engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHi-Torq design transfers higher torque loads than conventional screwdriver bits without slipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Ensure the drive socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque to avoid bit or fastener damage. Disengage power sources and de-energize any equipment before driving fasteners on electrical enclosures or powered assemblies. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use, as a worn Phillips tip will cam out under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 5 Phillips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.629 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.079 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111704\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: HTS-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542549201202,"sku":"HTS-5","price":87.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/77ab20004e14830ac311bd26e3eacf85.jpg?v=1785903435","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-hts-5-hi-torq-drag-link-socket-0-375-in-drive-no-5","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
