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.

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.
