Apex 18MM35 Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 18mm 6-pt Extra Long

Product Description

The APEX 18MM35 is an extra-long 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns in professional trade and industrial applications. Built from alloy steel and processed through a proprietary heat treat method, it delivers greater strength and longer service life than standard chrome sockets. The overall length of 3-1/4 inches (82.5 mm) provides added reach in tight or recessed fastener locations. Tighter manufacturing tolerances produce a consistent fit to fasteners, improving torque transfer and reducing rounding during high-torque impact use.

This socket is intended for professional mechanics, millwrights, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians working in automotive, heavy equipment, industrial, and construction environments. The extra-long profile makes it well suited for fasteners that are set deep in wells, flanges, or structural assemblies where standard-length sockets cannot reach. It accepts metric 18mm hex fasteners and meets ANSI and DIN standards.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch square drive for use with standard impact wrenches and breaker bars
• 18mm 6-point hex drive profile for positive fastener engagement
• Extra-long overall length of 3-1/4 inches (82.5 mm) for deep-reach applications
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for enhanced strength and longevity
• Tighter tolerances for superior fit consistency and improved torque transfer
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit impact socket for 1/2 inch drive impact tools accepting 18mm metric hex fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench, torque wrench, or breaker bar. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand ratchets in applications that exceed the tool rating. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
