Apex 80747 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 12 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80747 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 12 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional-grade fastener work. Hard-stamped size markings on the body allow quick identification in a tool bag or socket rail. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of a fastener rather than its corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the service life of both the socket and the fastener. At 0.12 pounds and 1.488 inches in length, this is a compact, standard-length socket suited for tight-access work across a range of trade applications.

This socket is well suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople who require precise metric fastener engagement. The 1/2 inch drive interface pairs with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup in shop and field environments alike.
