Apex cdds11n Deep Socket 1/4 in Drive 4mm 6 Point

Product Description

The APEX cdds11n is a 4mm, 6-point deep metric socket designed for use with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension. Built from Crestoloy alloy steel, it delivers the strength needed for professional hand-tool work in tight or recessed fastener applications. The nickel chrome plating provides a durable, corrosion-resistant finish suited to shop and field conditions. An off-corner loading geometry reduces contact pressure on fastener flats, lowering the risk of rounding worn or corroded hardware. This socket meets or exceeds ASME performance requirements, making it appropriate for professional trade use.

This deep socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where fasteners are recessed, studs protrude above the nut, or standard-depth sockets cannot seat fully. Typical applications include mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel work where 4mm metric fasteners appear on equipment housings, brackets, and control components. The 1/4 inch drive size keeps the tool compact for work in confined spaces. Licensed technicians and experienced tradespeople are the primary users.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified technician using a properly rated 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slipping. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless it is rated for impact use. Always power down or de-energize equipment before servicing fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies.
