Apex 80817D Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 20 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80817D is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 20 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work in mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. The socket measures 3.031 inches in length and weighs 0.4 pounds. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in the field or in a crowded toolbox. The off-corner loading design transfers torque to the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding and extending the life of both the socket and the fastener. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use.

This socket is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial mechanical work. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The 12-point configuration provides double the engagement positions of a 6-point socket, making it practical in confined spaces where swing arc is limited. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians commonly keep 1/2 inch drive metric sockets in their kits for equipment mounting, panel work, and mechanical assembly tasks.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using a properly rated 1/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Power down or de-energize any equipment before working on fasteners in electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
