Apex 80678 Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 1-1/4 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80678 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point chrome socket designed for professional trade use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, the socket measures 1-1/4 inches in size and weighs 0.5 pounds. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in the field. The 6-point design uses off-corner loading to apply force to the flats of fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding and improving torque transfer on tight or worn hardware.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where a reliable 1/2 inch drive SAE socket is needed. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The 1-1/4 inch size is commonly used when servicing equipment mounting hardware, pipe flanges, and mechanical assemblies found in HVAC units, pumps, and electrical panel installations. Sold individually, it integrates into existing 1/2 inch drive socket sets without issue.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with the equipment being serviced. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not use damaged sockets. Disconnect power, close shutoff valves, or de-energize equipment as required by applicable codes before beginning fastener work.
