Apex 80786 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 15 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80786 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications with a 12-point configuration and a 15 MM opening. Built for professional trades and shop use, this socket delivers reliable torque transfer through an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fasteners during removal or installation. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy toolbox or service tray. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use.

This socket is suited for mechanical, industrial, and general trade applications where a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point metric socket is required. It is appropriate for automotive service, equipment maintenance, HVAC equipment assembly, and plumbing fixture work where metric fasteners are standard. The 12-point design allows engagement at more handle positions, which is useful in tight or restricted access areas.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque specifications are critical. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use and replace if any deformation is present. Do not use impact-rated tools with this chrome finish socket unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.
