Apex cdds1n 6-point Deep Sae Socket 1/4 in Drive 3/16 in

Product Description

The APEX cdds1n is a 6-point deep SAE socket designed for use with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension. Built from Crestoloy alloy steel, it delivers the strength needed for repeated torque application in professional service environments. The 3/16 inch socket size and deep well profile allow technicians to reach fasteners on extended studs, recessed bolts, and threaded assemblies where a standard-depth socket would fall short. Nickel chrome plating protects against corrosion and wear. The off-corner loading geometry reduces contact stress at fastener edges, which helps prevent rounding on worn or tight hardware. This socket meets or exceeds ASME standards, making it appropriate for use in trade and industrial settings.

The cdds1n is suited for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where 1/4 inch drive tooling is the standard. It fits into tight access areas common in equipment panels, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies. The deep socket profile makes it especially useful when working with fasteners that have significant thread protrusion or when a nut must be run down a long bolt. Suitable for both hand-torque and power-assisted 1/4 inch drive applications.

Key Features

• 6-point drive geometry for maximum contact on fastener flats
• Off-corner load feature reduces risk of rounding fastener heads
• Crestoloy alloy steel construction for strength and durability
• Nickel chrome plated finish resists corrosion and wear
• Deep well profile reaches recessed and stud-mounted fasteners
• Meets or exceeds ASME requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive deep SAE socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in the 3/16 inch SAE fastener size.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand or with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. De-energize or shut off any equipment being serviced before accessing fasteners in live panels or pressurized systems. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
