Apex 80805 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 8 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80805 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 8 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional trade use in mechanical, HVAC, and electrical installation work. It features an off-corner loading design that directs torque onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of fastener rounding during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in low-light or high-volume job site conditions. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. At 0.11 pounds and 1.488 inches in length, this is a compact standard-length socket suited for tight access points.

This socket is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical work where 8 MM fasteners are common, including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel installation, and general equipment service. It is sold individually and fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point design, which is useful in confined spaces where ratchet swing arc is limited.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive with 12-point contact geometry for frequent engagement in tight spaces
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Hard-stamped 8 MM size marking for fast identification on the job
• Compact standard length at 1.488 inches for use in confined areas

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 12-point 8 MM sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers as part of routine equipment service and fastener-driving tasks. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before use and remove from service if damage is found. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer when using with a calibrated torque wrench.
