Apex 80774 Deep Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Pt 9/16 in

Product Description

The APEX 80774 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 1/2 inch drive tools and sized at 9/16 inch. Constructed from alloy steel with a full-polish chrome finish, it is built for repeated use in demanding trade and mechanical service environments. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded toolbox. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of a fastener rather than its corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener. Licensed mechanics, industrial maintenance techs, and skilled tradespeople reach for this socket when fastener depth or obstruction requires extra reach.

This deep socket suits applications where a standard-length socket cannot seat fully on a fastener, such as threaded rod work, recessed bolt heads, and long stud installations. At 3.031 inches in length, it provides the clearance needed on engine work, equipment assembly, and structural fastening tasks where bolt protrusion is a factor. It is sold individually and is compatible with any 1/2 inch square drive ratchet, breaker bar, or extension.

Key Features

• Deep-length design at 3.031 inches for access to recessed or long fasteners
• 12-point geometry accepts standard hex fasteners and allows engagement at multiple positions
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding and distributes stress to flat faces
• Full-polish chrome alloy steel finish resists corrosion and aids cleaning
• Hard-stamped size markings for quick, lasting identification
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/2 inch square drive ratchet, torque wrench, breaker bar, or extension. Fits standard 9/16 inch hex fasteners in deep-reach applications.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact-rated tools with chrome sockets unless the socket is rated for impact use. Keep the socket clean and dry to maintain finish and prevent slippage during use.
