Apex 80251D Universal Socket 1/4 in Drive 5.5 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80251D is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point universal flex socket designed for professional hand tool applications. Built from high-quality hand tool steel and forged for a precise fit, this standard-length socket features a high-polish chrome finish that resists corrosion and extends tool life. The socket incorporates Surface Drive technology, which shifts contact pressure away from fastener corners and onto the flat faces, reducing the likelihood of rounding off hex fastener heads during use. At 0.04 pounds, it is compact and lightweight for repetitive or confined-space work.

The 80251D is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general maintenance applications where a 5.5 MM fastener size is required. The universal flex design allows the socket to articulate at an angle, making it well-suited for fasteners that are not in direct line-of-sight or in tight spaces. This socket is sold individually and is appropriate for use by professional technicians, mechanics, and experienced tradespeople who require reliable, precision-fit hand tooling.
