Apex 80141 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 6 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80141 is a 6 MM, 6-point, 1/4 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. Built for speed and durability in professional service environments, it features an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces fastener rounding and extends the working life of both the socket and the hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded toolbox or socket rail. At 0.03 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing structural integrity. Licensed trades and general mechanics working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and electrical panels reach for sockets like this when precise torque application and fastener protection matter.

The APEX 80141 is suited for residential and light commercial service work where a 1/4 inch drive is the appropriate torque range. Typical applications include fastening panel screws, equipment mounting hardware, and small-component assemblies encountered in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service calls. Its full polish chrome finish resists corrosion in humid or wet service environments, making it a practical choice for technicians who work in mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and outdoor equipment installations.

Key Features

• 6-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding and distributes force evenly across flats
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Hard-stamped 6 MM size marking for fast visual identification
• 1/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and drive accessories
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive fastening tasks

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand with a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on critical fasteners. No special tools or trade licensing are required to use a hand socket, but follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when servicing live systems.
