Apex 80686 Deep Socket 1/2 in Drive 6 Point 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The APEX 80686 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 high-torque fastener work in demanding trade and shop environments. 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 make quick identification straightforward in a busy toolbox or service van. At 1.969 inches in length, the deep profile provides the reach needed for recessed or stud-mounted fasteners that standard-length sockets cannot access.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where 1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. The deep-length format is commonly used when fasteners are seated below a surface, on long threaded studs, or in confined mounting configurations. It is sold individually, making it practical as a direct replacement or addition to an existing socket set. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians working in commercial and residential service environments will find it a reliable fit for everyday use.

Key Features

• Deep-length profile at 1.969 inches provides extended reach for recessed fasteners and long studs
• 6-point contact design applies force to fastener flats, reducing corner rounding under high torque
• Alloy steel construction with full-polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• 1/2 inch drive compatibility fits standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• Large hard-stamped size markings for fast identification during service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive deep socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before applying high torque. Do not use impact-rated tools with chrome finish sockets unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.
