Apex 80778 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 13/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80778 is a 13/16 inch, 12-point, 1/2 inch drive socket made from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for fastener removal and installation in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications where reliable torque transfer and long tool life are required. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque use. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification in a tool bag or on a workbench.

This socket is suited for professional tradespeople working on equipment fasteners across residential and commercial jobsites. The 1/2 inch drive interface is compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches, making it a practical addition to any service tech's socket set. At 3.031 inches in length, it provides reach suitable for recessed or partially obstructed fastener heads commonly found in mechanical equipment installations.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket by hand-seating it onto the drive tool before applying torque.
