Apex 80635 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 23 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80635 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 23 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. The 6-point geometry uses an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or stubborn hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow fast identification in a busy toolbox or service van. At 1.488 inches in length and 0.26 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight addition to any drive set.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where a 1/2 inch drive tool is required and a 23 MM fastener size is in use. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes wiping down the socket between uses straightforward. It is sold individually and fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars used by licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers alike.

Installation Notes

A licensed technician or qualified tradesperson should select the correct socket size before applying torque to avoid fastener damage.
