Apex 80115 Deep Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 3/16 in

Product Description

The APEX 80115 is a deep-length, 6-point socket designed for 1/4 inch drive tools. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it is sized at 3/16 inch and suits a wide range of fastener work in tight or recessed locations. Large, hard-stamped markings make quick size identification easy in the field. The off-corner loading design places force on the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the chance of rounding and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener. Licensed tradespeople and skilled mechanics reach for this socket when standard-length tools cannot seat fully on a deeply set fastener.

This socket fits residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where 1/4 inch drive tools are standard. Its deep length makes it well suited for recessed fasteners, bolt-and-nut assemblies with exposed thread, and work in confined areas. It performs across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies where a 3/16 inch fastener is in play. The socket works with any 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench in common use.

Key Features

• Deep length provides extra reach for recessed or threaded fasteners
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs
• Off-corner loading directs force onto fastener flats for improved durability
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction resists corrosion and cleans easily
• Hard-stamped size markings remain legible through heavy use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style deep socket for use with any 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension bar, or torque wrench.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using any 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque applications. No special certifications are required for general hand-tool use, though tradesperson judgment on fastener torque requirements should follow applicable job specifications.
