Apex 80685 Deep Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The APEX 80685 is a deep 6-point socket with a 1/2 inch drive, sized at 1-1/4 inch, and constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for fastener removal and installation in applications where standard-length sockets cannot reach — deep bolts, recessed fasteners, and stacked hardware are common use cases. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a tool tray or bag.

This deep socket is suited for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical service work where a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench or ratchet is the standard tool. The deep length accommodates longer bolt shanks and threaded studs that protrude beyond the fastener head. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require reliable reach and grip on 1-1/4 inch hex fasteners.

Key Features

• Deep length design reaches recessed and extended fasteners standard sockets cannot access
• 6-point geometry with off-corner loading 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 identification in the field

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and service socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 1-1/4 inch hex fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand in conjunction with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench — no special tools are required for socket attachment. Ensure the drive detent fully engages before applying torque to prevent the socket from slipping off the drive. Inspect the socket and fastener for damage before use, and do not use impact-rated tools with this socket unless it is rated for impact service.
