Apex 80684 Deep Socket 1/2 Drive 6 Point 7/16 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 80684 is a deep-length, 6-point socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full-polish chrome finish, it is engineered for use in professional automotive, mechanical, and industrial service environments. The socket measures 3.031 inches in length and weighs 0.22 pounds. Its 6-point geometry applies force to the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Large hard-stamped size markings allow fast identification in a tool tray or bag. Licensed electricians, mechanics, and general tradespeople reach for this socket on tight clearance jobs where a standard-depth socket cannot reach.

This deep socket is suited for fastener access in recessed or extended-stud applications common in automotive drivetrain work, equipment assembly, and mechanical service. The 7/16 inch size covers a wide range of standard SAE fasteners found on HVAC equipment frames, electrical panel hardware, and general mechanical assemblies. The deep-length profile accommodates threaded rod, long bolts, and extended studs that a standard socket cannot fully engage.

Key Features

• Deep-length profile at 3.031 inches for extended fastener reach
• 6-point design contacts fastener flats to reduce rounding and improve durability
• Full-polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and longevity
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• Large hard-stamped markings for quick size identification
• 7/16 inch SAE size covers common fasteners across automotive and mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in SAE applications requiring a deep-length 7/16 inch socket.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic or qualified tradesperson should ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Always match the drive tool rating to the torque requirement of the fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use and replace if damaged. Do not use impact-rated tools with chrome hand sockets unless the socket is rated for impact service.
