The socket base is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for long service life under repeated use. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, a high-strength tool steel commonly specified for impact and driving bits. At 1.53 inches in length and 0.05 pounds, this is a standard-length socket suited for everyday fastener work across a wide range of assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians reaching for a compact, reliable hex driver will find this socket fits standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is sized for 2.5 MM internal hex fasteners and is well-suited to light mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure hardware, and plumbing fixture components where small hex-head fasteners are common. The standard length format is appropriate for general bench and field work where clearance is not a limiting factor. Sold individually, it integrates into existing 1\/4 inch drive socket sets or can be added as a single-size supplement to a service kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeat-treated alloy steel socket base for durability under repeated torque cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eS2 steel hex bit for high-strength fastener driving and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch square drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and drive handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5 MM hex bit size for small internal hex fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 1.53 inches for general-access applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.05 pounds for single-hand tool kit use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit addition for 1\/4 inch drive tool systems.

Confirm the hex bit size matches the fastener recess before driving. Do not use standard hex bit sockets as impact sockets unless the product is specifically rated for impact use. Inspect the bit tip for wear or deformation before each use session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.53 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heat-treated alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: S2 steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80162\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344981229874,"sku":"80162","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310497557.jpg?v=1782047124","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-80162-hex-bit-socket-1-4-in-drive-2-5-mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
