Apex 80306 Socket Set 1/4 in Drive 12 Point Metric 13 Pc

Product Description

The APEX 80306 is a 13-piece, 1/4 inch drive, 12-point metric standard-length socket set designed for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications. Manufactured from alloy steel, the sockets deliver high strength and long service life. The off-corner loading geometry reduces fastener rounding under torque, and the chamfered socket opening guides seating onto fasteners quickly. The set covers a full metric range from 4 mm through 15 mm, making it suitable for a wide variety of fastener sizes encountered in day-to-day service work. A socket rail is included for organized storage and fast access at the workbench or in the field.

This socket set is suited for automotive technicians, HVAC service professionals, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople who work with metric fasteners. The 1/4 inch drive size is well matched to lower-torque applications such as control panels, access covers, small engine components, and light mechanical assemblies. The 12-point configuration offers added flexibility in tight or restricted access situations where swing arc is limited. Included socket sizes: 4 mm, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, and 15 mm.

Installation Notes

Inspect each socket for cracks or deformation before use, and replace any damaged sockets immediately. Use the correct size socket for each fastener to avoid rounding. When working near electrical panels or live components, ensure power is de-energized before applying tools in restricted spaces. Standard hand-tool safety practices apply; do not use impact drivers with sockets not rated for impact service.
