Apex cdds14n Deep Socket 1/4 in Drive 7mm 6-point

Product Description

The APEX cdds14n is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point deep metric socket sized at 7mm, built for trade professionals who need reliable fastener access in confined or recessed locations. Manufactured from Crestoloy alloy steel, this socket delivers the strength needed for repetitive daily use. The nickel chrome plating protects against corrosion and keeps the finish intact through extended service life. The off-corner loading design contacts the flat face of the fastener rather than the corner, significantly reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads under torque. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians reaching deep into equipment panels will find this socket appropriate for a wide range of metric fastener applications.

This deep socket is suited for both residential and light commercial service work where 7mm metric fasteners appear in tight or deep-set locations. Typical applications include equipment access panels, motor mounts, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies. Its 1/4 inch drive interface pairs with standard 1/4 inch ratchets, extensions, and flex handles. The socket meets or exceeds ASME requirements, making it appropriate for professional use in the field or shop.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand tool technicians across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket and fastener for debris or damage before use. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless the tool is rated for impact use.
