Apex 80643 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 16 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80643 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 16 MM chrome socket designed for professional fastener work in automotive, industrial, and mechanical service environments. Built with a full polish chrome finish, it resists corrosion and wipes clean easily on the job. The off-corner loading design places force on the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding worn or stubborn hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in a busy shop or field environment. Licensed technicians and mechanics reaching for a durable, standard-drive socket will find this a reliable tool-tray addition.

This socket is suited for a wide range of professional service tasks where a 1/2 inch drive and metric sizing are required. Standard length at approximately 3.031 inches makes it appropriate for general-access fastener work. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or gap-fill for existing socket sets across automotive repair, equipment maintenance, and general mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by trade professionals including automotive technicians, millwrights, and general mechanical service personnel.
