Apex 80628 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 16 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80628 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications. It features a 6-point, 16 MM configuration suited for fastener work across mechanical, plumbing, and electrical trade applications. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in a busy shop or field environment. At 0.13 pounds and 1.488 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket built for direct-drive use.

This socket is appropriate for residential and light commercial service work where a 1/2 inch drive, 16 MM fastener is encountered. Typical applications include mechanical system assembly, equipment mounting, and component replacement tasks performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trades. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in greasy or wet environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed with the drive tool fully seated to avoid slippage. Power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical or HVAC components. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact-rated tools with chrome hand sockets unless the socket is rated for impact use.
