Apex 80108 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 9/32 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80108 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point SAE socket sized at 9/32 inch, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use in professional trade environments where fastener access, durability, and quick identification are critical. The 6-point geometry uses off-corner loading to apply force on the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Hard-stamped size markings remain legible under shop conditions. At 0.02 pounds and 0.965 inches in length, this is a compact standard-length socket suited for tight-space fastening tasks.

This socket is intended for use in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service applications where 1/4 inch drive tooling is the appropriate drive size. The 9/32 inch SAE sizing is commonly encountered in light mechanical assemblies, cabinet hardware, and equipment panels. It is sold individually and fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches used by licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanical technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this socket requires a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive tool before applying torque.
