Apex 80151D Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive 1/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80151D is a 1/16 inch SAE hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in tight or recessed locations. Built on a 1/4 inch drive platform, this socket features a heat-treated alloy steel base for long service life and an S2 steel bit for maximum torque transfer and resistance to rounding. At 1.53 inches in length and 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight addition to any professional socket set. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade mechanics will find this size useful across a wide range of fastener applications.

This hex bit socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where internal hex fasteners are common — including equipment panels, valve assemblies, motor mounts, and hardware on mechanical systems. The 1/16 inch hex size addresses smaller fasteners found in instrumentation, control components, and precision assemblies. It fits any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.

Key Features

• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for durability and extended tool life
• S2 steel bit construction for high-strength torque transfer
• 1/4 inch drive compatibility with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 1/16 inch SAE hex size for small internal hex fasteners
• Compact 1.53 inch length for access in confined spaces
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds — minimal added weight to a tool kit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplementary bit socket for use with any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet or drive tool set in SAE hex fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener recess before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener head. Inspect the S2 bit tip for wear or deformation before use and replace the socket if the tip shows signs of rounding. No special tools or certifications are required for use, but always follow applicable safety practices when servicing energized or pressurized equipment.
