Apex 80746 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 11 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80746 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. It features a 12-point configuration and an 11 MM opening, making it suitable for a wide range of fastener sizes encountered in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification in a crowded toolbox or service van.

This socket is suited for general trade use across residential and light commercial service environments. Technicians working on equipment panels, pipe hangers, mounting hardware, and mechanical connections will find this socket a reliable addition to a 1/2 inch drive set. It is sold individually, allowing targeted replacement of worn or missing sizes without purchasing a full set.

Key Features

• 12-point socket configuration for engagement with standard hex fasteners
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Hard-stamped 11 MM size marking for fast, durable identification
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive socket for use with compatible ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 1/2 inch drive tooling.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand as part of a 1/2 inch drive tool setup. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to avoid slippage. Always select the correct socket size to match the fastener to prevent rounding. Follow applicable trade safety practices and power down or depressurize equipment before breaking fasteners on live systems.
