Apex 80612 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 1-1/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80612 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point SAE socket sized at 1-1/16 inch, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for professional fastener drive applications where durability and access are priorities. The off-corner loading geometry directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a tool tray or bag. At 0.38 pounds and 1.575 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general-purpose work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service applications.

This socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The 6-point design provides secure engagement on hex fasteners and is well suited for high-torque applications where fastener damage is a concern. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where SAE fasteners are common, including equipment installation, panel work, and mechanical assembly tasks performed by licensed trade professionals.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed trade professionals including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians during equipment service and installation. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use impact-rated tools with chrome sockets unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
