Apex 80659 Hex Bit Socket 1/2 Drive 8 Mm

Product Description

The APEX 80659 is a 1/2 inch drive hex bit socket designed for driving and removing internal hex fasteners in professional trade and industrial applications. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for structural durability and extended tool life. The bit itself is manufactured from S2 steel, which provides high impact strength and resistance to wear under repeated torque cycles. At 2.48 inches in length and weighing 0.23 pounds, this socket is sized for standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and impact-ready toolsets used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals.

This hex bit socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where internal hex fasteners are common, including equipment panels, motor mounts, valve assemblies, and electrical enclosures. The 8 MM hex drive size covers a wide range of metric fastener applications. It is sold individually and integrates into existing 1/2 inch drive socket sets without adapters.

Key Features

• Heat-treated alloy steel base socket for durability and long service life
• S2 steel bit construction for maximum impact and torque strength
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and breaker bars
• 8 MM hex profile for metric internal hex fasteners

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any 1/2 inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, or impact tool. Ensure the fastener hex recess is clean and free of debris before seating the bit to prevent rounding. Do not use worn or damaged sockets on fasteners, as this can damage both the tool and the fastener head.
