3/8-Inch Drive Extra Deep Impact Socket
This Apex 3524 impact socket is built for professional mechanics and serious DIYers who need reliable fastener engagement in recessed locations. The extra deep design reaches bolts that standard sockets cannot access, while the 3/8-inch square drive fits common ratchets and impact wrenches. It exceeds ANSI and DIN requirements for strength and dimensional accuracy.
Oiled Steel Finish and Impact Rating
The socket is manufactured from steel with an oiled surface treatment that resists corrosion during storage and use. Its impact-rated construction handles the high torque and sudden loads of pneumatic or cordless impact tools without cracking. The robust wall thickness supports repeated heavy-duty cycles in automotive and industrial environments.
Replaces Standard Depth Sockets for Deep Recesses
This socket upgrades from a standard depth socket when fasteners sit deep inside housings, wheel hubs or engine compartments. The extra length eliminates the need for extensions that can wobble or reduce torque transfer. It is not suited for shallow fasteners where a standard socket provides better clearance and control.
Highlights
- Extra deep design reaches recessed fasteners easily
- Oiled finish resists corrosion for longer service life

Questions about this item
How do I install the Apex 3524 socket onto my 3/8 in drive impact wrench and what step is often missed?
Align the square drive with the anvil and press firmly until the detent pin locks; the step often missed is verifying the pin is fully seated before applying torque.
What maintenance will the Apex 3524 impact socket need over time?
Wipe away debris after each use and apply a light coat of oil to the steel surface to preserve the oiled finish and prevent corrosion.
What limit appears first when the Apex 3524 socket is used continuously on high-torque fasteners?
Heat buildup in the steel body is the first limiting factor during sustained high-torque impact work.
