Apex 80630 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 18 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80630 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 18 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in demanding trade and mechanical service environments. Built to handle high-torque fastener removal and installation, the 6-point geometry focuses force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Hard-stamped size markings provide quick identification in a cluttered toolbox or service cart. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes it easy to wipe down after use.

This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and industrial service applications where a reliable 1/2 inch drive 18 MM socket is required. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. At 1.488 inches in length and 0.17 pounds, it is a standard-length socket appropriate for general fastener access across a wide range of service scenarios. Mechanics, fleet technicians, and maintenance professionals will find it fits naturally into everyday service work.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with applicable torque requirements for the application.
