Apex 80173 Torx Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive T15

Product Description

The APEX 80173 is a T15 Torx bit socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. Manufactured from S2 alloy steel, the socket delivers high torsional strength for driving Torx fasteners in demanding trade and production applications. The full-polish chrome finish resists rust and corrosion and wipes clean without extra effort. At 0.688 inches in socket length and 1.53 inches overall length, the compact profile fits into tight fastener locations common in HVAC panels, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors reach for this socket when working with Torx-head hardware on equipment covers, access panels, and control components.

The 80173 suits residential and light commercial service work where T15 Torx fasteners are standard. It pairs with any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench. The socket is sold individually, making it a practical single-size addition to an existing drive set or a direct replacement for a worn socket in a current kit.
