Apex 80779 Deep Socket 1/2 Dr 12 Pt 7/8 Inch Alloy Steel

Product Description

The APEX 80779 is a deep-length, 12-point socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it delivers the durability and corrosion resistance that professional mechanics and tradespeople expect. The 12-point configuration provides multiple engagement positions for working in confined spaces. Off-corner loading geometry applies torque to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high load. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a crowded tool tray. At 3.031 inches in length, the deep profile clears nuts and bolts with extended thread engagement.

This socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and general mechanical work where a 7/8 inch fastener requires deep-reach access. The deep-length design is particularly useful when a fastener sits recessed below a surface or has a long threaded stud protruding above it. It is a staple in the toolbox of professional mechanics, fleet technicians, and maintenance tradespeople working across a range of industrial and automotive applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand tool technicians using compatible 1/2 inch drive equipment. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Inspect for wear or cracks before use on high-torque applications. Do not use impact-rated tools with chrome sockets unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.
