Apex 80174 Torx Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive T20

Product Description

The APEX 80174 is a T20 Torx bit socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and impact-rated hand tools. Built from S2 alloy steel, it delivers the torsional strength needed for fastener-driving applications where standard chrome-vanadium bits fall short. The socket features a full polish chrome finish that resists rust and corrosion and wipes clean without extra effort. At 0.05 pounds and 1.53 inches in length, it fits tight quarters without sacrificing grip. This socket is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who work with Torx fasteners on equipment panels, motor assemblies, and enclosures.

The 80174 fits standard 1/4 inch drive tool setups and is suited for residential and light commercial service work. T20 Torx drive is common on HVAC equipment covers, electrical panel components, and appliance assemblies. The compact 0.688 inch socket length makes it practical for use in confined spaces where clearance is limited. This socket is sold individually and works with any 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or bit holder.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket by hand before applying torque with a ratchet or driver. Verify the drive size and Torx profile match the fastener before use to avoid rounding.
