Apex 80148 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 13 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80148 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point, 13 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade applications. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a cluttered toolbox or service van. At 0.12 pounds and 1.929 inches in length, this is a compact, lightweight tool suited for tight-access work.

This socket is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general service professionals who require precise, reliable fastener engagement in confined spaces. The 1/4 inch drive fits standard 1/4 inch ratchets, extensions, and adapters. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after service work. It is sold individually and is well suited for building out a metric socket set or replacing a worn single socket.
