Apex 80797 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 1-1/8 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80797 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point socket designed for SAE fastener applications. Constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it delivers the durability and corrosion resistance that professional mechanics and tradespeople expect on the job. The 1-1/8 inch opening size handles heavy-duty fasteners found in automotive, HVAC equipment, and industrial mechanical assemblies. Large, hard-stamped size markings make it easy to identify at a glance in a crowded toolbox or tray. The 12-point design provides 30-degree increments of engagement for use in confined spaces where swing arc is limited.

This socket suits residential and commercial service work wherever 1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. It is appropriate for automotive technicians, HVAC mechanics, pipefitters, and general maintenance professionals working on structural fasteners, flanges, equipment mounts, and machinery. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion in wet or outdoor service environments, making it a practical choice for field and shop use alike.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive for use with standard impact-rated drive tools and breaker bars

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extension bars in SAE tooling setups.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand as part of a 1/2 inch drive tool assembly. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage or rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque fasteners. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and relevant service codes when tightening critical fasteners.
