Apex 80752 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 17 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80752 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 17 mm full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in demanding trade and mechanical service environments. The socket features an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward, even in low-visibility work conditions. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use. Measuring 1.488 inches in length and weighing 0.17 pounds, this is a compact, standard-length socket built for everyday service work.

This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general maintenance applications where a 1/2 inch drive tool is required. The 12-point configuration provides increased contact positions, making it easier to engage fasteners in tight spaces. Technicians working in HVAC equipment service, heavy equipment maintenance, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical repair will find this socket a reliable fit for metric fastener sizes at 17 mm. It is sold individually and is compatible with any standard 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits 17 mm metric fasteners in standard-length applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this socket requires a compatible 1/2 inch drive tool. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to prevent slippage or damage to the fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use. Do not use impact-rated sockets interchangeably with standard hand-drive sockets on impact wrenches unless the socket is rated for impact use.
