Apex 80617 Deep Socket 1/2 Drive 6 Point 11/16 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 80617 is a deep-length, 6-point socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it delivers the durability and corrosion resistance required for daily shop and field use. The 6-point design engages fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. At 3.031 inches in length, the deep profile provides clearance for recessed fasteners, long bolts, and studs that standard-depth sockets cannot reach. This socket fits 11/16 inch fasteners and is sold individually.

This socket is suited for mechanical, automotive, and industrial maintenance work where a 1/2 inch drive tool is the standard. The deep length makes it particularly useful when working around protruding bolt threads, sensors, spark plugs, or other hardware where additional socket depth is necessary to seat fully on the fastener. It is a common choice for technicians in automotive service, heavy equipment maintenance, and general mechanical work.

Key Features

• Deep-length profile at 3.031 inches provides access to recessed and long-shank fasteners
• 6-point design loads force onto fastener flats, reducing rounding risk
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions
• Hard-stamped size markings for quick identification in a tray or toolbox

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for 1/2 inch drive socket sets requiring a deep 6-point 11/16 inch socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand as part of standard mechanical fastener work. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use under high-load conditions. Use with appropriately rated 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches per the fastener specification required by the application.
