Apex 80147 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 12 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80147 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point, 12 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional trade use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications. Built to handle repetitive fastener work, it features an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This approach reduces fastener rounding and extends the working life of both the socket and the hardware being driven. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a cluttered tool bag or tray. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean easily after use.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 1/4 inch drive tools are standard. It fits common 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades. The 6-point geometry is preferred for worn or tight fasteners where a 12-point socket may slip. At 1.929 inches in length, it falls in a standard reach profile appropriate for accessible fastener locations.

• 6-point geometry for secure grip on standard hex fasteners

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced.
