Apex 80140 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 5.5 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80140 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point, 5.5 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade applications. The 6-point geometry uses an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in low-light or busy shop environments. At 0.03 pounds and 1.929 inches in length, this socket is built for compact drive access where space is limited.

This socket is suited for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades requiring precise metric fastener engagement. The 5.5 MM sizing is common in light equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies. Its standard length profile works in standard-clearance applications, and the full polish chrome finish resists corrosion in shop and field environments alike.

Installation Notes

This socket is used by trade professionals working on mechanical assemblies, panels, and equipment enclosures. Always ensure the drive tool is rated for the intended torque load before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use a damaged socket. Confirm fastener size before applying torque to avoid rounding or damage.
