Apex 80177D Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive Torx T30

Product Description

The APEX 80177D is a T30 Torx bit socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and impact-compatible hand tools. Built from S2 steel, the socket delivers the torsional strength needed for fastener-heavy trade work including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture assemblies. The full polish chrome finish resists rust and corrosion and wipes clean quickly on the job. At 1.53 inches in length and 0.05 pounds, it is a standard-depth socket suited for accessible fastener locations where a compact profile is an advantage.

This socket is a practical addition to any service technician's drive set. Standard-depth Torx sockets in the T30 size are commonly needed when servicing residential and light commercial HVAC units, electrical panels, and equipment with OEM Torx fasteners. The 1/4 inch drive sizing makes it compatible with compact ratchets and extensions used in tight equipment bays and confined access areas.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician, electrician, or plumber should de-energize and lock out equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Confirm the T30 Torx profile seats fully on the fastener head before applying torque to avoid rounding. Use with a properly rated 1/4 inch drive ratchet or handle appropriate for the fastener load. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer service procedures when opening electrical enclosures.
