Apex 80760 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 7/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80760 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point socket designed for SAE fastener applications. Constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, this socket is built for repeated use in professional service environments. The 7/16 inch size covers a common fastener dimension found across automotive, mechanical, and general trade work. Large, hard-stamped size markings make it easy to pull the right socket quickly during a job. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the service life of both the socket and the fastener.

This socket is suited for use in automotive repair, equipment maintenance, and mechanical assembly applications where 1/2 inch drive tools are standard. Its alloy steel construction handles the torque demands typical of professional use. The socket measures 1.488 inches in length and weighs 0.12 pounds, making it a compact and lightweight option for tight-access situations and standard bench work alike. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both shop and field use by mechanics, technicians, and trade professionals.

Installation Notes
