Apex 80233 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 6 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80233 is a 1/4 inch drive, 12-point, 6 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications. Built to handle high-cycle fastener work, it features an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy shop environment. The socket is sold individually and weighs 0.04 pounds with a length of 1.929 inches.

This socket is suited for use in automotive repair, equipment maintenance, and general mechanical work where a compact 1/4 inch drive tool is required. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions around the fastener, useful in tight spaces where swing arc is limited. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches commonly found in professional toolsets.

Installation Notes
