Apex 84116 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point

Product Description

The APEX 84116 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point impact socket designed for professional use in high-torque fastening applications. Constructed from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, it delivers the strength and durability required in demanding trade environments. The manganese phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance for extended service life. Laser-etched markings ensure high visibility for quick size identification, and a secondary hard-stamped size marking adds a backup reference. At 0.906 inches in length and 0.05 pounds, this is a compact, lightweight socket suited for work in confined spaces. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople commonly use impact sockets like this during equipment installation and service.

This socket is built for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns in both residential and commercial service environments. The 6-point design and off-corner loading geometry reduce fastener rounding, making it well suited for removing tight or slightly worn fasteners. Sold individually, it fits easily into an existing socket set or serves as a direct replacement for a lost or damaged socket in a working kit.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be used with impact-rated drive tools — do not substitute standard chrome sockets in impact applications. Ensure the drive tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.
