Apex 13MM55 Impact Socket 13mm Hex Drive 6-point Extra Long

Product Description

The APEX 13MM55 is a 13mm, 6-point impact socket designed for hex drive applications in professional trade and industrial environments. Built from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, it delivers greater strength and longer service life compared to standard-grade sockets. The extra-long, thin-wall profile measures 82.5 mm in overall length, allowing access to fasteners in confined or recessed locations. Tighter manufacturing tolerances result in superior product consistency and a better fit to fasteners, which improves torque transfer and reduces fastener rounding. Licensed trades and industrial mechanics rely on this socket for impact wrench applications where fit precision and durability matter.

This socket is suited for metric fastener work in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The thin-wall design makes it particularly useful in tight clearance applications common in HVAC equipment installation, plumbing fixture work, and electrical panel assembly where standard-wall sockets may not seat fully. It meets ANSI and DIN standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use. The extra-long length extends reach without requiring an extension bar in many common service scenarios.

Key Features

• 13mm socket size, 6-point hex drive for maximum contact with fastener flats
• Extra-long, thin-wall profile at 82.5 mm overall length for deep or tight-clearance access
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for greater strength and longer bit life
• Tighter tolerances provide consistent fit and improved torque transfer
• Meets ANSI and DIN dimensional standards
• Metric sizing for use with metric fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and service socket for professional hex drive impact wrenches and ratchets requiring a 13mm metric 6-point socket.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified mechanics or licensed trade professionals familiar with impact drive tools. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Do not use impact sockets on manual torque wrenches unless the tool manufacturer explicitly permits it. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
