Apex 80658 Hex Bit Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80658 is a 1/2 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in professional trade applications. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability and extended tool life. The hex bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, which provides high impact resistance and strength under torque. At 2.48 inches in length and 0.21 pounds, this socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. It suits HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors who work with hex-head fasteners on equipment panels, flanges, and fittings.

The 80658 is suited for residential and commercial service work where 6 MM internal hex fasteners are common. Typical applications include equipment access panel hardware, motor mounts, pipe flanges, and structural fasteners on mechanical systems. The 1/2 inch drive sizing makes it compatible with most professional-grade ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches already in a service technician's kit. It is sold individually, making it a direct replacement for a worn or missing 6 MM hex bit socket in an existing set.

Key Features

• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for durability and extended service life
• S2 steel hex bit for maximum strength and impact resistance
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 6 MM hex bit size for driving internal hex fasteners
• Compact 2.48 inch overall length for use in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for 1/2 inch drive socket sets requiring a 6 MM hex bit socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove by hand or with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the fastener head is fully seated in the bit socket before applying torque to prevent rounding. Inspect the S2 bit tip for wear or chipping before each use and replace if deformation is visible. This tool does not require power-down procedures, but always follow jobsite safety protocols when working on mechanical or electrical equipment.
