Apex 80857 Socket 3/4 in Drive 12 Point 1-3/4 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 80857 is a 3/4 inch drive, 12-point chrome socket designed for professional fastener work in demanding trade and industrial environments. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, it measures 1-3/4 inches in size and 2.598 inches in length. The 12-point configuration provides multiple engagement positions, and the off-corner loading design directs torque to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Hard-stamped size markings remain legible through heavy use. This socket is sold individually and suited for use by mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and other trade professionals who rely on 3/4 inch drive tool sets.

This socket is intended for SAE fastener applications where a 3/4 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or impact-rated drive tool is in use. The 1-3/4 inch size is common in larger mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and heavy equipment service. At 2.598 inches in length, it fits standard-reach applications without the added length of a deep socket. It is sold as a single unit, making it a practical addition or replacement piece in an existing 3/4 inch drive socket set.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch drive for use with full-size ratchets, breaker bars, and drive tools
• 12-point design offers multiple fastener engagement positions
• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding during high-torque application

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars in SAE tool sets. Suitable for professional and industrial fastener applications requiring a 1-3/4 inch socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by mechanics, pipefitters, millwrights, and other trade professionals working with 3/4 inch drive tool systems. Always confirm the fastener size before applying torque to avoid socket or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use. Do not use damaged or deformed sockets, and ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying force.
