Apex 80259 Universal Flex Socket 1/4 in Drive 13 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80259 is a universal flex socket designed for 1/4 inch drive applications requiring precise fastener engagement. Built from forged alloy steel with a high-polish chrome finish, this 6-point socket is sized at 13 MM and features Surface Drive technology, which shifts contact pressure away from fastener corners to reduce rounding. At 1.457 inches in length and 0.06 pounds, it is a lightweight, compact option suited for tight-access work. Professional mechanics, general contractors, and maintenance technicians will find this socket a reliable addition to a 1/4 inch drive set.

This flex socket is intended for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial maintenance environments where a swivel or universal-joint-style socket is needed to reach fasteners at awkward angles. The 13 MM size covers a wide range of metric hardware found in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel assemblies. The forged steel construction and chrome finish hold up to repeated use in shop and field conditions.
