Apex 80155 Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive 1/8 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80155 is a 1/8 inch SAE hex bit socket with a 1/4 inch drive, built for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in professional trade applications. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended tool life. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, which provides high impact and torsional strength under heavy use. At 0.05 pounds and 1.53 inches in length, this is a compact, lightweight socket suited for tight-access fastening tasks. Ideal for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades working with hex-head fasteners on equipment panels, brackets, and assemblies.

This hex bit socket is used wherever internal hex fasteners are encountered in residential or commercial service work. Common applications include equipment assembly and disassembly, fastener removal in confined spaces, and maintenance tasks on mechanical and electrical systems. The 1/4 inch drive sizing makes it compatible with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches found in most trade tool kits. Sold individually, it can be used as a standalone replacement or to supplement an existing socket set.

Key Features

• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for durability and long service life
• S2 steel hex bit for maximum strength under torque and impact
• 1/4 inch drive for use with standard ratchets and extensions
• 1/8 inch SAE hex bit size for internal hex fasteners
• Compact 1.53 inch length for access in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits internal hex fasteners requiring a 1/8 inch SAE bit.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener recess before applying torque to avoid fastener or bit damage. Inspect the bit tip for wear regularly, as a worn S2 bit can strip hex fasteners. No power-down requirements apply to the tool itself, but always de-energize or isolate equipment before servicing fasteners on live systems.
