Apex 80252 Universal Flex Socket 1/4 in Drive 6MM

Product Description

The APEX 80252 is a universal flex socket designed for 1/4 inch drive applications. Built for trade professionals who need a reliable, articulating socket for fastening in tight or angled spaces, the 80252 features a 6-point contact geometry and Surface Drive technology that shifts load away from fastener corners, reducing the risk of rounding hex heads. The socket is forged from alloy steel and finished with a high-polish chrome coating that resists corrosion and extends service life. It measures 6 MM and weighs 0.04 pounds, making it a compact addition to any hand tool set.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, including automotive service, HVAC equipment access, plumbing fixture installation, and electrical panel work where fastener access is restricted. The universal flex joint allows the socket to work at off-axis angles, which is particularly useful when working around obstructions in confined spaces. It is sold individually and fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars.
