Apex 80806 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 9 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80806 is a 9 MM, 12-point, 1/2 inch drive socket finished in full polish chrome. Designed for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service applications, it features off-corner loading geometry that directs force onto the flats of the fastener rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fasteners during high-torque removal. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification in a toolbox or tray. At 0.11 pounds and 1.488 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general fastener work across a wide range of applications.

This socket is appropriate for use in automotive repair, fleet maintenance, equipment service, and general mechanical work. The 1/2 inch drive fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extensions. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions in tight spaces compared to a 6-point design, making it useful in confined engine bays or equipment housings where ratchet swing angle is limited.

Key Features

• 9 MM, 12-point socket for versatile fastener engagement
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast identification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, torque wrenches, and impact-rated adapters where applicable.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by automotive technicians, millwrights, and general mechanics. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque applications. Do not use standard chrome-finish sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is impact-rated.
