Apex 80812 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 27 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80812 is a full polish chrome socket designed for 1/2 inch drive applications with a 12-point configuration and a 27 MM fastener size. Built for professional use, it features off-corner loading geometry that directs torque onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque conditions. Large hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in low-visibility conditions or when pulling from a crowded toolbox. The chrome finish resists corrosion and cleans easily after use in the field.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where 27 MM fasteners are encountered on equipment, flanges, or structural connections. At 1.575 inches in length, it fits in standard-clearance applications without the added reach of a deep socket. It is sold individually and is appropriate for any tech who needs a reliable, single-unit replacement or addition to an existing 1/2 inch drive set.

Key Features

• 12-point 27 MM opening fits a wide range of metric fastener heads
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup
• Large hard-stamped markings for fast size identification
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for any 1/2 inch drive socket set requiring a 12-point 27 MM socket.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent slippage or socket ejection. Always power down or de-energize equipment before loosening or tightening fasteners on electrical or mechanical systems. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
