Apex 80210 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 3/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80210 is a 3/16 inch, 12-point SAE socket with a 1/4 inch drive, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in professional hand-tool applications. The 12-point configuration and off-corner loading design direct force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a tool bag or tray. At 0.02 pounds and 0.965 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for tight-access fastening tasks.

This socket is appropriate for general mechanical, HVAC service, plumbing rough-in, electrical panel work, and equipment maintenance where 3/16 inch SAE fasteners are encountered. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive tool sets and is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or addition to an existing socket set. The compact length suits confined spaces common in equipment cabinets, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• 12-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast, reliable identification
• Standard length at 0.965 inches suits most confined-access applications
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds for extended use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits 3/16 inch SAE fasteners in residential and commercial service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and retire any socket showing deformation. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when fastener torque values are specified.
