Apex 80618 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 3/4 in Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80618 is a 3/4 inch, 6-point, 1/2 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. Built for professional use, it features an off-corner loading design that directs torque onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a tool tray or bag. At 3.031 inches in length and 0.38 pounds, it is sized for standard-reach fastener work across a wide range of trade applications. Licensed electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals will find it suited for everyday mechanical assembly and service tasks.

This socket is intended for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Its standard length makes it appropriate for general fastener access in equipment panels, mechanical rooms, rooftop units, and service applications where deep or mid-length sockets are not required. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in wet or greasy environments.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using a calibrated torque wrench where torque specifications are required by equipment manufacturers or applicable codes. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove it from service if damage is found. Power down and de-energize equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical panels or mechanical assemblies.
