Apex 80189 External Torx Socket 1/4 Drive E7 Black Oxide

Product Description

The APEX 80189 is a 1/4 inch drive external Torx socket in size E7, finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. Designed for use on external Torx fasteners, this socket is intended for manual drive tools only — not compatible with impact drivers or pneumatic equipment. At 0.984 inches in length and 0.13 pounds, it is a compact hand-tool accessory suited for tight spaces where standard fasteners have been replaced with Torx-head hardware. Technicians in HVAC, automotive, and light industrial service work regularly encounter E7 external Torx fasteners on panels, brackets, and assemblies.

The 80189 is used wherever E7 external Torx fasteners appear — including equipment panels, motor mounts, and access covers in residential and light commercial applications. Its compact 1/4 inch drive sizing makes it well suited for low-torque fastening tasks and confined areas where larger drive sizes are impractical. This socket is sold individually and is appropriate for professional technicians and experienced DIYers who already have a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or handle.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed and experienced technicians or qualified service professionals using hand tools. Before accessing any fastened panel or component, de-energize all electrical circuits and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures.
