Apex 80232 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 5.5 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80232 is a 5.5 MM, 12-point, 1/4 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. It is designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a cluttered tool bag or socket rail. At 0.04 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any drive set.

This socket is suited for use in tight-access areas where a 1/4 inch drive tool is the appropriate choice. Common applications include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, appliance service, and light mechanical work where 5.5 MM fasteners appear. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by licensed technicians and experienced tradespeople working with metric hardware.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding during high-torque application
• 12-point geometry for more engagement positions on hex fasteners
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Large hard-stamped markings for fast size identification
• 1/4 inch drive fits standard 1/4 inch ratchets, extensions, and adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive metric socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches following conventional square-drive tooling standards.

Installation Notes

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