Apex 80225 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 11/32 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80225 is a 1/4 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket in 11/32 inch SAE sizing, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications where fastener access and durability are critical. The 12-point configuration provides additional engagement positions in tight quarters. Hard-stamped size markings make quick socket identification straightforward on a busy workbench or in a toolbox. At 0.05 pounds and 1.929 inches in length, this is a compact, standard-length socket built for everyday professional use.

This socket is suited for automotive technicians, HVAC service technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical tradespeople who require reliable 1/4 inch drive tooling for SAE fasteners. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque or repetitive use. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters commonly found in trade tool sets.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch drive, 12-point design provides multiple engagement positions for access in confined spaces
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding by distributing force onto fastener flats
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast, reliable socket identification
• Standard length at 1.929 inches suits the majority of general fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive SAE socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, extensions, and adapters following standard drive tool conventions.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified technician using properly rated 1/4 inch drive tooling. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Do not use impact drivers with sockets not rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
