Apex 80680 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 1-1/2 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80680 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point socket in a 1-1/2 inch SAE size, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. Designed for professional trade use, this socket delivers reliable torque transfer through an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces fastener rounding and extends the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy shop or job site environment. At 0.86 pounds and 1.969 inches in length, it fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where 1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service applications involving larger fasteners and hardware. The standard length profile works in most open-access situations and pairs with common 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Sold individually, it can be added to an existing socket set or used as a direct replacement for a worn or missing size.

Key Features

• 12-point design fits both standard hex and 12-point fasteners
• Off-corner loading reduces rounding on fastener flats under high torque
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast, reliable identification
• Standard length profile compatible with most 1/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive SAE socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches used across mechanical and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not use damaged sockets. Follow applicable service manual torque specifications for the fastener being driven.
