Apex 84149 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point

Product Description

The APEX 84149 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point impact socket built for professional tradespeople who demand strength and durability under high-torque conditions. Manufactured from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, this socket is engineered to handle the stress of impact tool use without cracking or deforming. A manganese phosphate coating provides corrosion resistance for long service life in demanding shop and field environments. Laser-etched markings and a secondary hard-stamped size designation keep identification fast and reliable even after extended use. Off-corner loading geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads during removal. The 84149 weighs 0.18 pounds and measures 1.968 inches in length.

This impact socket is suited for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications where a compact 1/4 inch drive impact socket is required. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. The 6-point design provides maximum contact on hex fasteners, making it appropriate for both production work and service calls where fastener condition may be compromised. Sold individually, it integrates easily into existing socket sets or tool kits.

Key Features

• Chrome molybdenum alloy steel construction for high-torque impact use
• Manganese phosphate coating resists corrosion and wear
• 6-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding
• Laser-etched markings plus secondary hard-stamped size for reliable identification
• 1/4 inch drive fits standard impact wrenches and ratchets
• Compact 1.968 inch length suited for tight-clearance fastener access

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and hand ratchets. Compatible with 6-point hex fastener applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact sockets on hand-drive torque wrenches unless rated for that application. Disconnect or de-energize equipment as required by applicable codes before performing any fastener work on live systems.
