Apex 80830 Socket 3/4 in Drive 12 Point 7/8 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80830 is a 3/4 inch drive, 12-point SAE socket sized at 7/8 inch, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for heavy-duty fastener work in mechanical, industrial, and trade settings. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions when swinging a ratchet in tight quarters. Off-corner loading directs force onto the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, which reduces the risk of rounding hardware under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast when pulling from a socket tray or tool bag.

This socket is suited for use in automotive, HVAC equipment service, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical work wherever a 3/4 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar is the appropriate tool. The 7/8 inch SAE size is common in equipment fasteners, pipe fittings, and structural hardware. At 1.969 inches in length, it fits standard-reach applications without the added clearance of a deep socket. Technicians working on larger equipment or commercial units will find this size relevant for hardware typical in those assemblies.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch drive, 12-point design for increased engagement positions in restricted swing angles
• Off-corner loading reduces force on fastener corners, limiting rounding under torque
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Hard-stamped 7/8 inch size marking for fast, reliable identification
• Compact 1.969 inch length suitable for standard-reach fastener access

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/4 inch drive SAE socket compatible with 3/4 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches from any manufacturer following standard drive sizing.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by qualified mechanics and trade technicians using a 3/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use with impact drivers unless the tool is rated for impact service. Follow applicable equipment service documentation for fastener torque requirements.
