Apex 80608 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 13/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80608 is a 6-point, 1/2 inch drive socket sized at 13/16 inch SAE, constructed from alloy steel with a full-polish chrome finish. It is designed for fastener removal and installation in demanding trade and mechanical service environments. The 6-point geometry uses an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or corroded hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy toolbox or service van. At 0.22 pounds and 1.488 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for everyday drive-train, mechanical, and equipment service work.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC equipment service, electrical panel assembly, plumbing fixture work, and general mechanical maintenance where a 1/2 inch drive tool is required. The SAE 13/16 inch size is common in residential and light commercial equipment applications. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use with any standard 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand as a drive tool accessory and requires no special installation procedure. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive tool before applying torque to prevent slippage. Always de-energize or shut down equipment before performing fastener service on electrical, HVAC, or mechanical systems. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not use damaged sockets.
