Apex 80640 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 13 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80640 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 13 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade and mechanical applications. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow fast identification in a busy tool bag or socket tray. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes the socket easy to wipe clean. At 3.031 inches in length and 0.25 pounds, it balances reach and maneuverability in standard under-hood, panel, and mechanical service work.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial trade work including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel installation, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical service. The 1/2 inch drive size makes it compatible with standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches commonly found in trade toolboxes. It is well-suited for any professional who regularly drives metric fasteners in confined or open-access installations.
