Apex 80771 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 1-1/8 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80771 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket sized at 1-1/8 inches SAE. Constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, this socket is built for repeated use in professional trade environments. Hard-stamped size markings keep identification fast in the field. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque applications. At 0.35 pounds and 1.654 inches in length, it is a compact, standard-length socket suited for tight-space work.

This socket fits common service tasks encountered by automotive technicians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who work with 1-1/8 inch SAE fasteners. The 1/2 inch drive size matches a wide range of ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches found in professional tool kits. The 12-point configuration engages fasteners from multiple positions, useful in confined areas where swing arc is limited.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified technician using appropriate personal protective equipment. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use impact-rated sockets interchangeably with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
