Apex 80161 Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive 2 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80161 is a 1/4 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in mechanical and maintenance applications. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for structural durability and extended service life. The hex bit itself is machined from S2 tool steel, which provides higher impact and torsional strength than standard chrome steel. At 1.53 inches in length and 0.05 pounds, this socket is suited for compact fastener work where reach and torque control are critical. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals keep this size in regular rotation.

The 80161 is sized for 2 MM internal hex fasteners and fits 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters. It is well suited to light mechanical work, equipment panel fasteners, and service calls where small hex-head screws appear on access covers, junction boxes, and component mounting hardware. The compact drive size allows use in confined spaces common in residential and light commercial equipment service.

Key Features

• S2 tool steel bit for superior strength and resistance to rounding under torque
• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for durability and long tool life
• 1/4 inch drive compatibility works with standard ratchets, extensions, and adapters
• 2 MM hex size targets small internal hex fasteners common in equipment service
• Compact 1.53 inch length suits confined installation and service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service addition for any 1/4 inch drive tool set requiring 2 MM hex bit socket coverage.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by general maintenance technicians, HVAC service professionals, and electricians working with small hex fasteners. Always confirm the fastener head size before applying torque to avoid rounding. De-energize or lock out any equipment before removing fastener-secured access panels or components. Inspect the bit tip for wear or deformation before each use and replace if the corners show visible rounding.
