Apex 80611 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 1 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80611 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 1 inch chrome socket designed for professional use in demanding trade environments. Built with a full polish chrome finish, the socket resists corrosion and cleans easily in shop conditions. Large hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward, even in low-light or cluttered workspaces. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. At 0.33 pounds and 1.575 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited to everyday fastening tasks.

This socket is appropriate for automotive, mechanical, and general trade use wherever a 1/2 inch drive is standard. It fits into tool sets used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanics who need a reliable chrome socket for service, installation, and maintenance work. The 6-point design makes it well-suited for high-torque applications where slippage is a concern. Sold individually, it can supplement an existing socket set or replace a worn unit.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive with 6-point geometry for high-torque fastening with reduced slippage
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and improves durability
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand as part of a 1/2 inch drive tool setup. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to avoid damage to the drive lug or fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque applications. No special certifications or code compliance is required for socket use, though torque specifications for fasteners should always follow the equipment manufacturer guidelines.
