Apex 80787 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 16 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80787 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 16 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work across a wide range of applications. The socket features an off-corner loading design that directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the service life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast, even in low-light or high-volume service environments. Mechanics, pipefitters, and general trade professionals will find this socket a reliable addition to a 1/2 inch drive set.

This socket is suited for automotive, industrial, and mechanical service work where a 1/2 inch drive tool is standard. The 12-point configuration allows engagement at more positions around the fastener head, which is useful in tight spaces with limited swing arc. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use. At 3.031 inches in length, it falls in the standard length range, making it appropriate for general-access fastener work rather than deep-well or confined-recess applications.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive for use with standard 1/2 inch ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 12-point design allows engagement at multiple positions for use in restricted swing areas
• Off-corner loading directs force onto fastener flats to reduce rounding
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Hard-stamped 16 MM size marking for fast, reliable identification

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches compatible with 1/2 inch drive socket sets.

Installation Notes

Always verify the socket size matches the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and the drive tool before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, particularly in high-torque applications. Consult equipment manufacturer torque specifications when used with a torque wrench for critical fasteners.
