Apex 80645 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 18MM Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80645 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 18 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in automotive, industrial, and mechanical service applications. Built to withstand high-torque demands, the 6-point contact geometry applies force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Hard-stamped size markings remain legible through heavy use. The socket weighs 0.33 pounds and measures 3.031 inches in length, making it a solid mid-range option for use in tight or standard-clearance environments.

This socket is suited for mechanical and maintenance technicians working on automotive, fleet, and equipment service tasks. The 1/2 inch drive accepts standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The 18 MM size covers a wide range of common metric fasteners found on engines, suspension components, and industrial equipment. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning in shop environments.
