Apex 80142 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 7 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80142 is a 7 MM, 6-point, 1/4 inch drive socket with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for general mechanical fastening work where a compact, durable socket is needed. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a tool bag or tray. At 0.07 pounds, it is lightweight and suited for overhead or confined-space work common in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel service.

This socket is well suited for residential and light commercial service work where 7 MM metric fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include securing electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and plumbing access covers. The 1/4 inch drive sizing keeps the tool compact for tight-clearance fastener access. It is sold individually and is a standard addition to a metric socket set for field service technicians.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using an appropriate 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage.
