Apex 80639 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 12 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80639 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 12 mm full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications. The off-corner loading geometry directs torque onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of fastener rounding under load. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow fast identification in a tool bag or drawer. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use.

This socket suits trade professionals who need a reliable metric socket for equipment service, panel work, pipe hangers, mechanical fasteners, and general maintenance tasks. At 3.031 inches in length, it fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both bench and in-field use across residential and light commercial service environments.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any 1/2 inch drive tool — no special installation procedure is required. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demand of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace any damaged socket immediately. Do not use impact-rated tools with chrome hand sockets unless the socket is explicitly rated for impact use.
