Apex 80644 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 17 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80644 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications. It features a 6-point design in a 17 MM size, making it suited for professional fastener work across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fasteners during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in a tool bag or on a crowded workbench. At 0.3 pounds, this socket is a lightweight but durable addition to any professional socket set.

This socket is used in a wide range of trade and mechanical service settings where 1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial work including equipment installation, mechanical repairs, and general fastener work requiring a metric 17 MM socket. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleaning easier after use in greasy or wet environments common to HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed tradespeople and mechanical technicians working with 1/2 inch drive ratchets or impact tools rated for this socket size. Always verify the drive tool torque rating does not exceed the socket specification before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use on fasteners that are corroded or seized without appropriate penetrating treatment. This socket is intended for hand-tool or low-speed impact use only unless rated otherwise.
