Apex 80106 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 7/32 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80106 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point SAE socket sized at 7/32 inch, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use in professional hand-tool applications where fastener access, speed, and durability are priorities. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in a busy shop or field environment. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians routinely carry sockets of this type as part of a standard drive set.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 1/4 inch drive tooling is standard. It fits into confined spaces where larger drive sizes cannot be used, making it practical for panel work, equipment access covers, and small fastener applications. The 6-point geometry provides a secure grip on hex fasteners and is preferred over 12-point designs when working with worn or tight hardware.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch drive with 6-point internal geometry for maximum contact on hex fasteners
• 7/32 inch SAE sizing for small fastener applications
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast identification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive SAE socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and accessories from major hand-tool manufacturers.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Inspect the socket for cracks or chips before each use and remove from service if any damage is found.
