Apex 80798 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 1-1/4 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80798 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket in 1-1/4 inch SAE sizing, constructed from alloy steel for strength and durability in demanding trade and industrial applications. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup. Off-corner loading geometry directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in low-light or high-volume service environments. At 3.031 inches in length and 1.15 pounds, this socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets and impact-compatible extensions.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where 1-1/4 inch SAE fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include equipment mounting hardware, flange bolts, large pipe fittings, and structural fastener removal. The 12-point design provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, useful when working in confined spaces with limited ratchet swing. The alloy steel construction handles the torque demands of both hand ratchets and pneumatic or battery-powered impact drivers.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions
• 12-point design for increased engagement positions in tight spaces
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast identification
• Alloy steel construction for high-torque durability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive socket compatible with any 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, torque wrench, or extension bar meeting ANSI drive tang specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified technician using appropriate drive tools rated for the torque required. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping or rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Follow applicable safety codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening critical fasteners.
