Apex 80235 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 8 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80235 is a 1/4 inch drive, 12-point, 8 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work. Built to handle repeated daily use, the socket features an off-corner loading design that transfers torque to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fasteners under load. Large, hard-stamped size markings make it easy to identify the correct socket quickly in a crowded toolbox or service van.

This socket fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. Its compact drive size makes it well suited for fastener work in tight or restricted spaces common in residential and commercial service environments. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and allows for easy cleaning after use in greasy or oily conditions. It is sold individually and is appropriate for any trade professional who requires a reliable metric socket in this size.
