Apex 80749 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 14 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80749 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications with a 12-point configuration and a 14 MM opening. It is used to drive hex fasteners in a wide range of mechanical, maintenance, and trade service situations. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a busy shop or field environment. At 0.13 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any socket set.

This socket suits residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 14 MM socket is required. It is appropriate for HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture work, electrical panel installation, and general mechanical service. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement for a worn or missing size in an existing set.
