Apex 80126 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 5 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80126 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point, 5 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional trade use in tight or hard-to-reach fastener applications. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in a busy work environment. At 0.965 inches in length and 0.02 pounds, this socket is compact and lightweight for single-handed use.

This socket suits residential and commercial service work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades wherever metric fasteners are encountered. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches, making it compatible with most existing drive-tool sets carried by technicians in the field or shop.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using a calibrated torque wrench where torque specifications apply to the assembly. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use and replace if deformation is visible. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying rotational force to prevent slippage or fastener damage.
