Product Description

The APEX 80156 is a 9/64 inch SAE hex bit socket with a 1/4 inch drive, designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in professional trade and maintenance applications. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended tool life. The hex bit is manufactured from S2 steel, providing high strength and resistance to cam-out under torque. At 1.53 inches in length and 0.05 pounds, this socket is compact and well-suited for work in tight spaces. Installers across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades will find it useful wherever internal hex fasteners are encountered.
