Apex 80105 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 3/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80105 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point SAE socket sized at 3/16 inch, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use in mechanical and trade applications where fastener access, grip, and durability are critical. The 6-point geometry uses off-corner loading, which applies force to the flats of a fastener rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of fastener rounding during tightening or removal. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in the field or shop. At 0.965 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general-purpose tasks.

This socket is intended for use in automotive, mechanical, plumbing, and light industrial service applications where 1/4 inch drive tools are standard. It fits into compact spaces where larger drive sockets cannot reach. The SAE sizing makes it appropriate for work on equipment and fasteners spec'd in fractional inch measurements. It is sold individually and is compatible with any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.

Key Features

• 6-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
• Hard-stamped size marking for fast, reliable identification
• Standard length at 0.965 inches fits most common fastener access scenarios
• 1/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension bar, or torque wrench in SAE fractional inch tool sets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto a 1/4 inch drive tool — no special tools are required for setup. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to avoid slippage or damage to the fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not exceed the rated drive capacity for the tool being used.
