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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome molybdenum alloy steel construction for high-torque strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point contact geometry reduces risk of rounding fastener corners under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManganese phosphate finish resists corrosion in shop and outdoor service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep socket depth accommodates fasteners with extended stud or bolt protrusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLaser-etched size markings remain legible through repeated use and cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch drive accepts standard heavy-duty ratchets and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.252 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome Molybdenum Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Manganese Phosphate Coated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.620 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 84268\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233432273202,"sku":"84268","price":117.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307626481.webp?v=1780099845","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-84268-deep-socket-2-1-8-in-6-point-1-in-drive-sae","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
