Apex 80790 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 19 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80790 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 19 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional trade use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service applications. The socket features an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing fastener rounding and improving durability under heavy use. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in low-light or high-volume shop conditions. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes the socket easy to wipe clean. At 0.34 pounds and 3.031 inches in length, it delivers a compact, manageable profile without sacrificing reach.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical service work, including automotive repair, equipment maintenance, and general fastener driving where a 1/2 inch drive tool is standard. The 12-point geometry provides flexibility in tight spaces by allowing more engagement positions on the fastener head. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use by automotive technicians, maintenance mechanics, and experienced tradespeople working with metric fastener sets.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive with 12-point socket geometry for more engagement positions in confined spaces
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and extends fastener life
• Large hard-stamped markings for fast size identification in shop conditions
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 12-point metric sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson familiar with proper torque procedures for the application. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
