Apex 80783 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 12 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80783 is a 12 MM, 12-point, 1/2 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. It is designed for professional use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work where fast, reliable fastener removal and installation is required. Large hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification in a tool bag or socket tray. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of fastener rounding and extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Weighing 0.24 pounds, it is a standard hand-tool addition for any service technician working with metric fasteners.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where 12 MM metric fasteners are common. Typical uses include equipment panel removal, motor mounting hardware, bracket fasteners, and general mechanical assembly and disassembly tasks. It is sold individually and is appropriate for any trade professional who requires a reliable, full polish chrome socket in a 1/2 inch drive configuration.

Key Features

• 12-point design provides multiple engagement positions for use in tight spaces

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a compatible 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and do not use a damaged socket. Follow the equipment manufacturer torque specifications when tightening fasteners during reassembly.
