Apex 13MM03 Impact Socket 13mm 6-point Shallow Hex Drive

Product Description

The APEX 13MM03 is a 13mm shallow-profile impact socket designed for hex drive applications in professional trade environments. Built from alloy steel and processed through a proprietary heat treat method, it delivers enhanced strength, tighter dimensional tolerances, and consistent fit to fasteners for reliable torque transfer. The 6-point drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under high-torque impact loads. At 22.2mm overall length, the shallow profile suits tight-clearance applications where a deep socket will not fit. Mechanical contractors, electricians, plumbers, and service technicians working with impact drivers and impact wrenches will find this socket sized for everyday metric fastener work.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where 13mm metric fasteners are common — equipment mounting hardware, panel installation, pipe supports, conduit brackets, and mechanical assembly tasks. The shallow length makes it practical for use on bolt-and-nut combinations with minimal thread protrusion. It meets ANSI and DIN standards, confirming dimensional consistency across interchangeable tooling setups.

Key Features

• 13mm socket size for standard metric fastener applications
• 6-point hex drive geometry for improved torque transfer and reduced fastener rounding
• Shallow profile at 22.2mm overall length for tight-clearance access
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for extended service life
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances for consistent fastener fit
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard metric impact socket compatible with hex drive impact wrenches and impact drivers accepting this drive style and socket size.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto a compatible hex drive impact tool. Ensure the impact wrench or driver is depowered or disconnected from its power source before changing sockets. Confirm the socket seats fully and positively on the drive before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand ratchets where torque loads may exceed the tool rating.
