Apex 82510 Long Torx Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive T8

Product Description

The APEX 82510 is a long Torx bit socket designed for accessing internal Torx fasteners in tight or recessed locations. It features a 1/4 inch drive and a T8 Torx profile, making it suitable for electronics, automotive, and precision mechanical work where standard-length sockets cannot reach. The base socket is constructed from heat-treated alloy steel for durability, while the bit is manufactured from S2 steel for maximum strength under torque. At 5.98 inches in length and weighing 0.125 pounds, this socket is built for repeated professional use without premature wear.

This bit socket is well suited for HVAC technicians, auto mechanics, electronics service technicians, and other trade professionals who regularly encounter internal Torx fasteners on panels, circuit boards, motor housings, and equipment enclosures. The extended length provides clearance in deep or obstructed fastener wells where compact sockets are ineffective. It is sold individually and is a practical addition to any drive set used in service or repair applications.

Key Features

• Extended 5.98 inch length reaches recessed internal Torx fasteners
• T8 Torx profile fits common small fasteners found in electronics and precision equipment
• S2 steel bit construction provides high torsional strength and resistance to rounding
• Heat-treated alloy steel socket base for long service life
• 1/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental socket for 1/4 inch drive tool sets requiring a long T8 Torx bit socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by a qualified technician or mechanic using a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid fastener damage. Disconnect power or de-energize equipment before servicing any fasteners on electrical or electronic components. Inspect the bit tip for wear periodically and replace if rounding or damage is observed.
