Apex 80831 Socket 3/4 in Drive 12 Point 15/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80831 is a 3/4 inch drive, 12-point socket in a 15/16 inch SAE size, manufactured from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. Designed for professional trade use, it delivers reliable torque transfer through an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. This reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque applications. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for quick identification in a busy shop or field environment. At 0.484 pounds and 2.008 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for a wide range of fastening tasks.

This socket is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment assembly and service, plumbing rough-in work, electrical panel and equipment mounting, and general mechanical maintenance where a 3/4 inch drive torque wrench or ratchet is required. It is a standard SAE size commonly needed when working with large-diameter fasteners on mechanical equipment, structural brackets, and pipe hangers. The 12-point design accommodates both hex and double-hex fastener heads, adding versatility across trade applications.

Key Features

• Standard length at 2.008 inches fits a wide range of access scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/4 inch drive SAE socket compatible with any 3/4 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench following standard drive tool conventions.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using a properly rated 3/4 inch drive tool. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. De-energize, depressurize, or otherwise isolate any system before using hand tools on fasteners that secure live electrical, pressurized plumbing, or refrigerant-containing components. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
