Apex 80223D Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 9/32 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80223D is a 9/32 inch, 12-point SAE socket with a 1/4 inch drive, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. Designed for speed and durability in professional trade environments, it features off-corner loading geometry that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in low-light or cluttered work conditions. At 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight tool suited for tight-access fastening tasks across mechanical and electrical service work.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service applications where 1/4 inch drive tooling is required. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades for panel work, equipment access covers, and small fastener removal. The standard length profile fits most 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Its alloy steel construction handles the repetitive stress of daily field use without deformation.

Key Features

• 9/32 inch, 12-point SAE drive socket for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding during removal and installation
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast, reliable identification in the field
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and drive tools using the SAE measurement standard.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand onto any standard 1/4 inch square drive ratchet or extension. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage. Use appropriate torque values specified by the equipment manufacturer for the fastener being driven. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and replace if deformation is observed.
