Apex 80222 Deep Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 80222 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 1/4 inch drive tools. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it provides corrosion resistance and easy cleaning in shop environments. The 12-point configuration and off-corner loading design apply force to the flats of fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Hard-stamped size markings stay legible through heavy use. At 1.929 inches in length, the deep profile gives clearance for recessed or extended fasteners that standard-depth sockets cannot reach.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical work where a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension is the appropriate tool. The deep-length format is particularly useful when fastener studs protrude above the surface or when working in confined spaces that require additional socket depth to seat fully on the fastener.

Key Features

• Deep-length profile at 1.929 inches for recessed fastener access
• 12-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• Hard-stamped size markings for quick identification in the field

Compatibility

Designed as a 1/4 inch drive deep socket compatible with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Installation Notes

Installation of this socket requires a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Verify the fastener size matches the socket before applying torque to avoid rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use and replace if deformation is present. Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener and application as defined by the equipment manufacturer.
