Apex 5152 Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-5/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 5152 is a standard-length impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. It accepts 1-5/8 inch hex fasteners and features a 6-point drive geometry for maximum contact surface and reduced fastener rounding under high-torque conditions. The socket is manufactured from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process that produces tighter tolerances, superior consistency, and better torque transfer to the fastener. Overall length is 2 inches. This is a non-insulated, non-sparking-rated socket suited for general mechanical and industrial fastening work.

The APEX 5152 is used in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications where a 1/2 inch drive impact tool is paired with large hex fasteners. Typical scenarios include heavy equipment assembly, structural fastening, and high-torque disassembly tasks in shop or field environments. The standard-length profile fits most production and service use cases where a deep or universal-length socket is not required. It meets ANSI and DIN standards and is designated as an SAE-dimensioned socket.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive, 1-5/8 inch socket size for large hex fasteners
• 6-point drive geometry for full-surface contact and reduced fastener damage
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for extended service life
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances for consistent fit and improved torque transfer
• Standard length at 2 inches overall for versatile fitment in most applications
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards; SAE dimensioned

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and manual drive tools on 1-5/8 inch SAE hex fasteners in standard-reach applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches or breaker bars. Ensure the fastener and socket are fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. This socket is not rated as insulated or non-sparking, so it should not be used in live electrical or flammable-atmosphere environments where those ratings are required. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
