Apex cdds65n Deep Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-1/16 in 6 Point Sae

Product Description

The APEX cdds65n is a 6-point deep SAE socket with a 1/2 inch drive, sized at 1-1/16 inch. It is manufactured from Crestoloy alloy steel and finished with nickel chrome plating for corrosion resistance and durability. The off-corner loading geometry contacts the flat faces of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. This socket is suited for mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who need reach into recessed fastener locations during service and installation work.

This deep socket is used wherever a standard-depth socket cannot engage a fastener due to stud length, thread protrusion, or recessed positioning. Typical applications include mechanical assembly, equipment service, conduit fittings, pipe flange bolts, and panel work in both residential and commercial settings. The 6-point design provides a secure grip on standard hex fasteners in tight or corroded conditions.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive, 1-1/16 inch size, 6-point deep SAE configuration
• Off-corner load feature reduces fastener rounding during high-torque applications
• Crestoloy alloy steel construction for strength and impact resistance
• Nickel chrome plated finish for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Meets or exceeds ASME performance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive deep SAE socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extensions meeting ASME drive-tool standards.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using appropriate 1/2 inch drive tooling. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use impact extensions or adapters not rated for impact service with this socket unless confirmed compatible. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications when tightening structural or pressure-bearing fasteners.
