Apex 80144 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 9 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80144 is a 9 MM, 6-point, 1/4 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. Designed for speed and durability in daily trade use, it features large hard-stamped size markings for fast identification in a tool bag or on a cart. The off-corner loading design transfers torque to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads. At 0.04 pounds and 1.929 inches in length, it is a compact standard-length socket suited for confined fastener access in mechanical and service work.

This socket is appropriate for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service applications where a 1/4 inch drive, metric fastener in the 9 MM range is encountered. The standard length profile fits most inline and right-angle drive tools. It is sold individually and works with any 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and cleans easily in shop environments.

Installation Notes

Installed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians during equipment service and assembly. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and replace if the drive opening or socket walls show deformation. Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener and application as required by the relevant service procedure or code.
