Apex 80200 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 6 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80200 is a 6 MM, 12-point, 1/4 inch drive socket with a full polish chrome finish, designed for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications. Built to GearWrench standards, it features an off-corner loading design that directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast, even in low-light or cluttered work environments. At 0.02 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing the strength required for demanding tasks.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service environments where a compact 1/4 inch drive setup is preferred. It is commonly used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers for accessing fasteners in tight or confined spaces. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, useful when swing arc is limited. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use.

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and improves durability

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage.
