Apex 80793 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 1-3/16 in

Product Description

The APEX 80793 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket designed for professional fastener work in trade and industrial applications. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it measures 1-3/16 inches in size and 1.654 inches in length. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in low-light or high-volume service environments.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where 1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. It fits into tight or congested fastener locations typical of equipment panels, mechanical room installations, and structural assemblies. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, useful when swing arc is limited. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both bench and field service use.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and improves durability
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and longevity
• 12-point configuration allows engagement every 30 degrees for restricted-swing applications
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast identification on the job
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard impact and ratchet drive tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extension bars from any manufacturer following standard drive sizing.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians as part of routine fastener service. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage or injury. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use damaged sockets. Impact-rated tools should only be used with sockets rated for impact use.
