Apex 80240 Socket 1/4 in Drive 12 Point 13 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80240 is a 1/4 inch drive, 12-point, 13 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional trade use in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications. The socket features large, hard-stamped size markings for fast identification in the field. An off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque applications. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning. At 0.12 pounds and 1.929 inches in length, this is a compact, standard-length socket suited for tight-clearance work.

This socket is intended for use in residential and light commercial service work where a 1/4 inch drive is appropriate — including control panel fasteners, equipment access panels, junction boxes, and mechanical assembly tasks. It is sold individually and fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. The 12-point design allows engagement at more angles than a 6-point socket, which is useful when rotation access is limited.

• 1/4 inch drive, 12-point design for versatile fastener engagement
• 13 MM socket size in full polish chrome finish
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by qualified technicians following applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines. Always de-energize electrical panels and shut off relevant systems before servicing fastened components. Use the correct drive torque for the fastener application — do not exceed the rated capacity of the drive tool being used with this socket.
