Apex 80773 Deep Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 80773 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 1/2 inch drive tools and built from alloy steel for long-term durability in demanding trade environments. At 3.031 inches in length and weighing 0.24 pounds, this socket delivers the reach needed to access recessed or deeply seated fasteners. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast, even in low-light conditions.

This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and industrial service work where standard-length sockets cannot reach fasteners seated below a surface or within a deep recess. It is a practical addition to a 1/2 inch drive set used by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople on assembly, disassembly, and equipment servicing tasks. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and allows for quick cleaning between jobs.

Key Features

• Deep-length design at 3.031 inches for access to recessed fasteners
• 12-point configuration for compatibility with both hex and 12-point fasteners
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Alloy steel construction for strength and wear resistance
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast, reliable identification
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion

Compatibility

Designed as a 1/2 inch drive deep socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand onto any compatible 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Verify the fastener size matches the 1/2 inch socket opening before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found. Do not use impact-rated tools with this socket unless it is rated for impact use.
