Apex 80638 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 11 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80638 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 11 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional-grade fastener work across a wide range of trade applications. The 6-point geometry uses off-corner loading, which directs force onto the flats of a fastener rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding and extends the service life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make fast identification practical in tool bags, trays, or on the floor of a service vehicle. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where 11 MM metric fasteners are common. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 3.031 inch length places it in a standard reach category, appropriate for most surface-mounted and moderately recessed fastener applications. Licensed tradespeople and experienced service technicians will find it a reliable addition to a metric socket set.

Installation Notes

Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and the drive tool before applying torque. Power down equipment and de-energize or depressurize systems before breaking fasteners on live mechanical or electrical assemblies. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove it from service if deformation is visible.
