Apex 80682 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 28 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80682 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 28 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional-grade fastener work. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding hardware under torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification easy in a busy shop or field environment. At 1.575 inches in length, this is a standard-depth socket suited for a wide range of drive applications. Finished in full polish chrome for corrosion resistance and durability. Sold individually.

This socket is appropriate for automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications where a 1/2 inch drive 28 MM socket is required. The 12-point configuration allows engagement from more positions around a fastener, useful in tight spaces where swing arc is limited. Typical use cases include suspension work, drivetrain service, equipment maintenance, and structural fastener installation across residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, extensions, and breaker bars. Fits 28 MM fasteners in metric applications across automotive, mechanical, and general trade use.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto a 1/2 inch drive tool — no special tools required for attachment. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque applications. Do not use impact-rated adapters with non-impact sockets unless the socket is rated for impact use.
