Apex 80820 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 22 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80820 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point socket finished in full polish chrome, designed for professional use in demanding fastener applications. Built to the GearWrench standard, it features large hard-stamped size markings for fast identification and an off-corner loading design that transfers force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fasteners during high-torque operations. At 3.031 inches in length and 0.45 pounds, this socket is sized for standard-reach work and suits automotive, HVAC equipment service, and mechanical assembly tasks where a reliable 22 MM socket is required.

The APEX 80820 is appropriate for automotive technicians, HVAC service techs, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople who regularly work with metric fasteners. The 1/2 inch drive matches the most common drive size for mid-range torque applications, making this socket a straightforward fit on 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in greasy or wet environments. Sold individually.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a calibrated torque wrench when torque specifications are required by the manufacturer or applicable service procedure. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and remove from service if damage is observed. No power-down procedures are required, but de-energize any electrical equipment before accessing fasteners on live panels or control boxes.
