Apex MB-14MM23 Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 14mm Deep

Product Description

The APEX MB-14MM23 is a deep-well, 6-point impact socket designed for 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from alloy steel, it accepts 14mm fasteners and features a spring-loaded magnetic cylinder that holds bolts, studs, and nuts firmly inside the socket body during installation and removal. As the nut runs down the stud, the hollow magnet retracts to provide full bolt clearance. The overall length is 50.8 mm (2 inches), making it suitable for recessed or deep-set fastener applications. This socket meets ANSI and DIN standards and is rated for metric fastener use.

This socket is used in mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing service work wherever 14mm metric fasteners require deep-reach access. The magnetic retention feature is especially useful when working in tight or overhead installations where dropped fasteners cause delays. Licensed tradespeople and service technicians use this socket for equipment panel fasteners, motor mounts, access cover hardware, and similar recessed bolt applications across residential and light commercial systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with impact tooling and metric fastener standards. Verify that drive tool torque settings are appropriate for the fastener being driven before applying power. This socket is not insulated and is not rated for live electrical work. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
