Apex 5130 Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 15/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 5130 is a 6-point hex drive impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastening applications. It accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits a 15/16 inch SAE fastener, with an overall length of 1.5 inches in a standard profile. The socket is machined from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process that targets tighter tolerances, greater strength, and improved torque transfer to the fastener. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals use impact sockets like this one when working with air-powered or battery-powered impact wrenches on structural fasteners, flanges, and mechanical connections.

The APEX 5130 is suited for residential and commercial service work where SAE fasteners are standard. The standard-length profile keeps the socket compact for use in moderate-clearance situations. It is not insulated and not rated non-sparking, making it appropriate for general mechanical applications rather than live-electrical or hazardous-location work. The 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under high-torque impact use, which is a common concern in field service environments.

Key Features

• 6-point hex drive design reduces fastener rounding under impact torque loads
• Machined from alloy steel with a proprietary heat treat process for greater strength and longer service life
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances provide a consistent fit to fasteners and improved torque transfer
• Standard-length profile at 1.5 inches overall length suits moderate-clearance applications
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards for impact socket performance
• SAE sizing for use with standard inch-measurement fasteners

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Fits 15/16 inch SAE hex fasteners. Compatible with air-powered, electric, and battery-powered impact tools using a standard 1/2 inch square drive.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should be installed and removed by qualified trade professionals familiar with impact tool operation and torque requirements for the application. Always verify the drive size and fastener size match before applying impact force. Do not use impact sockets with hand-ratchet tools not rated for impact loads, as this can cause socket failure. Disconnect power or air supply from the impact tool before changing sockets.
