Apex 80673 External Torx Socket 1/2 in Drive E24

Product Description

The APEX 80673 is a 1/2 inch drive external Torx socket in size E24, finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. Designed for use on external Torx fasteners, this socket is rated for manual drive tools only and is not intended for use with impact drivers or pneumatic equipment. At 2 inches in length and 0.38 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece hand tool suited for mechanical, HVAC, and general trade work where external Torx fasteners appear on equipment panels, compressors, and structural hardware.

External Torx sockets like the 80673 are commonly used in commercial and residential service work where OEM fasteners require a star-profile external drive. The E24 size covers a range of larger external Torx fasteners found on HVAC equipment housings, condenser units, and mechanical assemblies. This socket is sold individually and is compatible with any standard 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench used in manual applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of external Torx fasteners should be performed by a qualified technician using appropriate manual drive tools.
