Apex 5136 Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-1/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 5136 is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in professional trade environments. Built from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, it delivers greater strength, tighter tolerances, and more consistent torque transfer compared to standard sockets. The 1/2 inch drive accepts standard impact wrenches, while the 1-1/8 inch hex socket size covers a wide range of common fasteners. At 1-5/8 inches overall length, it fits in standard-depth applications without clearance issues. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors will find this socket reliable for repetitive high-torque work.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench is the tool of choice. It handles bolted connections on mechanical equipment, structural fasteners, pipe flanges, and equipment mounting hardware. The standard-length profile works well in open-access applications where a deep or swivel socket is not required. Its ANSI and DIN compliance ensures dimensional consistency for professional use.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for extended service life
• 6-point drive geometry improves contact with fastener flats and reduces rounding
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances provide consistent fit and better torque transfer
• Standard length profile at 1-5/8 inches overall length for general-access applications
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards for dimensional and performance consistency
• SAE sizing in 1-1/8 inch for compatibility with common imperial fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-length 1/2 inch drive impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets in professional trade applications requiring a 1-1/8 inch SAE hex socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Disconnect power or de-energize equipment before working on any fastened electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if deformation is visible.
