Apex 80234 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 7 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80234 is a 7 MM, 12-point, 1/4 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. Designed for professional-grade hand tool use, it delivers reliable torque transfer through an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This approach reduces fastener rounding and extends the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy shop or field environment. At 0.05 pounds and 1.929 inches in length, the socket is compact and suited for tight-access applications. Installed by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals across a wide range of service work.

This socket is appropriate for general mechanical and maintenance applications where a 1/4 inch drive, metric fastener is encountered. The standard length profile fits most bench and field service scenarios, including automotive, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture hardware. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in greasy or dirty environments.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by mechanics and trade technicians using a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-cycle or high-torque applications. Do not use impact drivers with this chrome hand-tool socket unless the tool is specifically rated for impact use.
