Apex 8542 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 1-5/16 in Hex 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 8542 is a 1-inch drive, 1-5/16-inch hex impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in demanding trade environments. Built from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, it delivers greater strength and longer service life compared to standard impact sockets. The 6-point drive geometry provides superior torque transfer and reduces fastener rounding. At 4-1/4 inches overall length with a thin-wall, extra-long profile, this socket reaches fasteners in recessed or obstructed locations where standard-depth sockets cannot. It meets ANSI and DIN standards and carries a 1-year warranty.

This socket is suited for industrial maintenance, heavy equipment service, fleet repair, and construction applications where a 1-inch drive impact wrench is in use. The extra-long, thin-wall design makes it practical for deep-set fasteners on structural assemblies, machinery, and large-format mechanical connections. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and trade professionals working with 1-5/16-inch SAE hex fasteners will find this socket a direct fit for high-torque impact tool use.

Key Features

• 1-inch drive, 1-5/16-inch socket size in SAE hex configuration
• 6-point drive for maximum torque transfer and reduced fastener damage
• Extra-long, thin-wall profile at 4-1/4 inches overall length for deep or obstructed access
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for greater strength and longer bit life
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances for consistent fit and superior product consistency
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches and manual breaker bars. Fits 1-5/16-inch SAE hex fasteners in applications requiring an extra-long, thin-wall socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 1-inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damaged. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand tools, as socket geometry and steel hardness differ from standard chrome hand-tool sockets.
