Apex 84268 Deep Socket 2-1/8 in 6 Point 1 in Drive Sae

Product Description

The APEX 84268 is a deep 6-point socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in automotive and industrial applications. Built from chrome molybdenum alloy steel, it delivers the strength needed for high-torque situations where standard chrome vanadium sockets fall short. The 2-1/8 inch SAE size accepts a 1 inch drive and measures 4.252 inches in overall length, making it well-suited for deep-reach applications on large fasteners. A manganese phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance in shop and field environments. High-visibility laser-etched markings allow fast size identification without picking up the socket. This is a professional-grade hand tool intended for use by automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and industrial maintenance personnel.

The APEX 84268 fits typical use cases involving large-diameter fasteners found on heavy equipment, truck axles, suspension components, and industrial machinery. The deep socket depth gives clearance for fasteners with extended stud protrusion. The 6-point design contacts fastener flats rather than corners, which is the preferred configuration for high-torque applications where fastener rounding is a concern. It is appropriate for both hand-ratchet and impact-adjacent torque wrench use with a 1 inch drive tool.

Key Features

• Chrome molybdenum alloy steel construction for high-torque strength and durability
• 6-point contact geometry reduces risk of rounding fastener corners under load
• Manganese phosphate finish resists corrosion in shop and outdoor service environments
• Deep socket depth accommodates fasteners with extended stud or bolt protrusion
• Laser-etched size markings remain legible through repeated use and cleaning
• 1 inch drive accepts standard heavy-duty ratchets and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for 1 inch drive socket sets used in heavy-duty automotive and industrial service applications requiring a 2-1/8 inch SAE deep socket.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified mechanic or industrial technician using an appropriate 1 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged on the fastener before applying torque. Disconnect power, relieve pressure, or secure the equipment being serviced before loosening or tightening critical fasteners. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.
