Apex 80796 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 1-1/16 in

Product Description

The APEX 80796 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket made from alloy steel, designed for professional use in mechanical, industrial, and trade service applications. The socket measures 1-1/16 inch across and spans 3.031 inches in length. Large hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in a busy toolbox or service tray. The off-corner loading design applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life over repeated use. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and general trade technicians will find this socket well-suited to demanding work environments.

This socket is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a standard 1/2 inch drive tool is the workhorse choice. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions, which is useful in tight or restricted spaces where swing arc is limited. Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion in shop environments. Typical use cases include equipment assembly, mechanical fastener service, and general maintenance tasks across trades.

Installation Notes

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