Apex 80826 Socket 1/2 in Drive 12 Point 30 Mm Chrome

Product Description

The APEX 80826 is a 1/2 inch drive, 12-point, 30 MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional use in demanding trade and industrial applications. Built to deliver consistent torque transfer, it features an off-corner loading design that directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Large, hard-stamped size markings make quick identification straightforward in low-light or fast-paced work environments. The socket ships as a single unit and weighs 0.5 pounds, with a length of 3.031 inches.

This socket is suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where a reliable 1/2 inch drive 12-point socket in a 30 MM size is required. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use. It is appropriate for both bench work and in-system service tasks where fastener access and torque control are priorities.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using a calibrated torque wrench or ratchet with a 1/2 inch drive. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Power down or de-energize equipment and relieve system pressure before servicing fasteners on mechanical or HVAC systems. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
