Apex 80642 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 15 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80642 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications. It features a 6-point design in a 15 MM size, built for professional use in mechanical, industrial, and trade service environments. Large hard-stamped markings make size identification fast in busy shop conditions. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding hardware under torque. At 0.25 pounds and 3.031 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general fastener work across a wide range of applications.

This socket is a practical fit for automotive, HVAC equipment service, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical work where a 1/2 inch drive tool is the standard. The 15 MM size covers a common fastener dimension found on equipment panels, mechanical assemblies, and structural hardware. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleaning straightforward after use in oily or dirty environments. Licensed trades and general mechanics will find this socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions.
