Apex 80229 Deep Socket 1/4 Dr 12 Pt 9/16 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 80229 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 1/4 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it fits 9/16 inch fasteners and is suited for technicians who need reach into recessed or deep-set fastener locations. The 12-point configuration provides multiple engagement positions, reducing repositioning time during repetitive fastener work. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification possible in a busy shop or field environment. Off-corner loading directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the chance of rounding under torque.

This socket is intended for general mechanical service work across automotive, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades where 1/4 inch drive tools are standard. The deep-length profile accommodates extended bolts, studs, or fasteners recessed behind surrounding components. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both bench work and in-the-field service calls where compact drive tool sets are used.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a calibrated torque wrench or standard ratchet rated for 1/4 inch drive. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage.
