Apex 80762 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 9/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80762 is a 9/16 inch SAE socket with a 1/2 inch drive and 12-point configuration, built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for professional fastener work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service applications. The 12-point design provides more engagement positions for use in tight spaces, while off-corner loading directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing rounding and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener. Licensed tradespeople and field technicians reach for this socket when working with standard SAE hex fasteners on equipment and structural assemblies.

This socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is well suited for residential and commercial service work where SAE fasteners are common, including equipment mounting, panel access, and mechanical assembly tasks. The standard length profile makes it a go-to for general-purpose use across a wide range of service calls. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification in a toolbox or socket rail without picking up the piece.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive, 12-point configuration for maximum engagement positions in confined areas
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and extends fastener life
• Alloy steel construction with full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast identification without guesswork
• Standard length profile suitable for general-purpose trade use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive SAE socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches using a 12-point 9/16 inch fastener interface.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed with the appropriate 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench rated for the application. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or rounding. De-energize and lock out electrical equipment before using hand tools in proximity to live components, per applicable NEC or equipment-specific service procedures.
