Apex 1108 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 1/4 in Hex 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 1108 is a standard-length, 6-point impact socket designed for 1/4 inch square drive impact tools and fastener applications requiring hex drive engagement. Built from alloy steel and processed through a proprietary heat treat method, this socket delivers consistent wall strength and tighter dimensional tolerances than standard production tooling. The 6-point geometry maximizes contact surface on hex fasteners, reducing the chance of rounding under high-torque conditions. At 7/8 inch overall length, it fits confined fastener access points common in mechanical assembly, HVAC equipment, and general trade work. The socket meets both ANSI and DIN standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use.

This socket is suited for trade professionals including HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors who use 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches or ratchets on hex fasteners. Its standard length profile works well in tight equipment cabinets, panel enclosures, and mechanical rooms where clearance is limited. The SAE sizing makes it a direct fit for 1/4 inch hex fasteners found throughout residential and light commercial equipment and hardware.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for greater strength and longer service life
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances for a more consistent fit to fasteners and improved torque transfer
• 6-point drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact torque
• Standard length at 7/8 inch OAL suits confined installation environments
• Meets ANSI and DIN dimensional standards
• Non-insulated, non-sparking designation noted — verify job site requirements before use in sensitive environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch square drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and hand drivers on 1/4 inch SAE hex fasteners in standard fitment applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and other trade professionals working with impact or hand-drive tools. Ensure the square drive detent or retaining ring is fully seated before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand ratchets beyond their rated torque range. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is observed.
