Apex 84148 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point

Product Description

The APEX 84148 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point impact socket designed for professional-grade fastening applications. Constructed from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, it delivers the torsional strength required for high-torque impact tool use. The socket features a manganese phosphate coating that resists corrosion in shop and field environments. Off-corner loading geometry reduces contact stress on fastener flats, limiting rounding under load. Laser-etched markings provide size identification at a glance, and a secondary hard-stamped size ensures the label survives heavy use. At 0.17 pounds and 1.968 inches in length, it fits tight spaces without sacrificing grip.

This socket is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general industrial work where a 1/4 inch drive impact tool is in use. The 6-point design concentrates drive force on fastener flats rather than corners, making it a reliable choice for removing stubborn or corroded fasteners. It is sold individually, allowing technicians and tradespeople to replace or supplement existing socket sets without purchasing a full kit.

Key Features

• Chrome molybdenum alloy steel construction for impact-rated strength and durability
• Manganese phosphate coating for corrosion resistance
• 6-point drive profile with off-corner loading to reduce fastener rounding
• Laser-etched markings plus secondary hard-stamped size for long-term legibility
• Compact 1.968 inch length suitable for use in confined spaces
• Sold individually for targeted replacement or set expansion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on socket for 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets used in automotive and mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any standard 1/4 inch drive impact tool. Ensure the tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand ratchets beyond their rated torque range. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.
