Apex 8MM11 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 8mm 6-point

Product Description

The APEX 8MM11 is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in professional trade environments. Built from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, this socket delivers greater strength, tighter tolerances, and more consistent fit to fasteners for improved torque transfer. The 1/4 inch drive accepts standard impact drivers and wrenches. At 0.875 inches overall length, the standard-length profile fits in confined spaces where a deep socket would be unnecessary. The 8mm hex drive size covers common metric fasteners found in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians alike will find this socket appropriate for daily production use.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work wherever 8mm metric fasteners are encountered. Common applications include equipment access panel fasteners, motor mounting hardware, and control box covers on HVAC units. The 1/4 inch drive platform is a standard choice for lighter-duty impact work where bulk and weight are a concern. The socket meets ANSI and DIN standards, confirming dimensional and performance consistency across production runs.

Key Features

• 6-point contact geometry for full-face engagement and reduced fastener rounding
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat for extended service life
• Tighter manufacturing tolerances for consistent fit and torque transfer
• Standard length at 0.875 inches overall for use in space-restricted locations
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards for dimensional accuracy
• Metric sizing — 8mm — covers common fasteners in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and drivers accepting standard impact-rated sockets. Fits standard 1/4 inch square drive tool heads in professional and industrial impact tool platforms.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified tradespeople installing or servicing mechanical, electrical, or HVAC equipment. Always verify the fastener size before applying impact torque to avoid damaging hardware. De-energize and lock out electrical equipment before accessing fastener locations inside panels or enclosures. Use only impact-rated sockets with impact drivers — do not substitute chrome hand-tool sockets, which are not rated for repeated impact loading.
