Apex 80239D 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 12 Mm Chrome Socket

Product Description

The APEX 80239D is a 1/4 inch drive, 12-point, 12 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional-grade fastener work. Off-corner loading directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward on a busy work surface. At 0.11 pounds and 1.929 inches in length, this is a compact, standard-length socket suited to tight-access applications where a bulkier tool will not fit.

This socket is appropriate for automotive, mechanical, and light industrial service work wherever a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension is in use. The 12-point configuration accommodates both hex and 12-point fasteners, making it a versatile addition to a socket set. Licensed tradespeople including auto technicians, HVAC service techs, and general maintenance mechanics will find this size useful for panel hardware, equipment covers, and small-component fasteners common across residential and commercial service work.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and improves socket durability
• 12-point configuration fits both hex and 12-point fastener heads
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Large, hard-stamped markings for fast size identification
• Compact standard length at 1.929 inches suits restricted-access fastener locations
• Lightweight at 0.11 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches using a standard square drive interface.

Installation Notes

Always ensure the drive size and fastener size match before applying torque to avoid fastener damage or socket failure. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Use a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque specifications are required by the equipment manufacturer. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove any damaged tools from service.
