Apex 80679 Socket 1/2 Inch Drive 6 Point 1-1/2 Inch Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80679 is a 1/2 inch drive, 6-point, 1-1/2 inch SAE socket constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial applications where reliable torque transfer and fastener protection are required. The 6-point geometry concentrates force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a busy tool tray or socket rail.

This socket is suited for general mechanical work including automotive repair, equipment maintenance, and industrial assembly. The 1/2 inch drive accepts standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches commonly used in professional service environments. At 1.969 inches in length, it fits into standard-depth applications without the bulk of a deep socket.

Key Features

• 6-point off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast, reliable identification
• Standard depth profile at 1.969 inches for broad application fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive SAE socket for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in professional and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Verify the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and do not use damaged sockets. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working under vehicles or on pressurized systems. Always follow the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications for the fastener being serviced.
