Apex 84906 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 9/16 in Sae

Product Description

The APEX 84906 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point impact socket in a 9/16 inch SAE size, manufactured from chrome molybdenum alloy steel for high-strength performance under impact loads. The socket carries a manganese phosphate coating that resists corrosion in demanding shop and field environments. Laser-etched markings combined with a secondary hard-stamped size designation keep the size readable even after heavy use. Off-corner loading geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque applications. This socket is suited for professional trades including automotive, mechanical, and industrial service work.

The APEX 84906 is designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets in professional service environments. Its compact 9/16 inch SAE size makes it well-suited for engine bay work, equipment assembly, and general mechanical fastening tasks where a smaller drive size is appropriate. The 6-point design maximizes contact with fastener flats, reducing slip under load. Professionals in automotive repair, fleet maintenance, and equipment service will find this socket a reliable addition to a standard impact socket set.
