Apex 80753 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 18 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80753 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 18 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of trade applications. The socket features large hard-stamped size markings for fast identification in a tool bag or on a crowded workbench. An off-corner loading design directs force onto 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. At 0.18 pounds and 1.488 inches in length, it is a compact standard-length tool built for tight access and everyday use.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where 18 MM fasteners are common. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes it easy to wipe clean after use in greasy or dirty environments. It is sold individually and is well-suited for both shop use and field service work.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive, 12-point design for broad fastener engagement

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive ratchet or torque wrench is rated for the fastener application before use. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
