Apex 80116D 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 7/32 in Deep Socket

Product Description

The APEX 80116D is a deep 6-point socket designed for 1/4 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it delivers reliable torque transfer on hex fasteners in tight or recessed locations. The 7/32 inch opening and deep length make it well suited for fasteners with extended threads or protruding studs. Off-corner loading directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Large hard-stamped size markings keep identification fast when working from a tray or toolbox. At 0.03 pounds, the socket is lightweight without sacrificing strength.

This socket is intended for professional tradespeople and experienced DIYers working in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical service. The deep length is particularly useful when driving fasteners seated in recessed panels, electrical enclosures, or equipment housings where standard-length sockets cannot reach. The 1/4 inch drive size fits compact ratchets and extensions commonly used in confined spaces inside equipment cabinets and control panels.

Key Features

• Deep length accommodates recessed fasteners and fasteners with extended thread protrusion
• 6-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque
• 7/32 inch opening fits corresponding SAE hex fasteners
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish resists corrosion
• Hard-stamped size markings provide fast visual identification
• 1/4 inch drive fits standard compact ratchets, extensions, and drive tools

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit 1/4 inch drive deep socket compatible with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches using a square drive interface.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if the drive square or socket opening shows deformation. When working near electrical components, confirm power is de-energized before accessing fasteners inside panels or enclosures. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer service procedures for the specific application.
