Apex cdds74n Deep Socket 1/2 in Drive 15mm 6 Point

Product Description

The APEX cdds74n is a 6-point deep metric socket designed for 1/2-inch drive applications. Built from Crestoloy alloy steel, it delivers the strength needed for heavy-duty fastening work in demanding trade environments. The nickel chrome plated finish resists corrosion and wear over extended service life. An off-corner loading design shifts contact away from fastener corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or worn hex fasteners. This socket meets or exceeds ASME performance requirements, making it a reliable choice for professional mechanics, HVAC technicians, and tradespeople who work with metric hardware daily.

The cdds74n is suited for residential and commercial service work where a deep socket is required to reach recessed fasteners or fasteners on long bolt shanks. Typical applications include equipment installation, mechanical assembly, and service calls requiring metric tooling. The deep profile accommodates extended bolt lengths that standard-depth sockets cannot reach, reducing the need for extensions in many scenarios.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch drive compatible with standard 1/2-inch ratchets and breaker bars
• 15mm opening size for metric fastener applications
• 6-point design for maximum contact and reduced fastener slippage
• Off-corner load feature reduces rounding on worn or damaged fasteners
• Crestoloy alloy steel construction for durability under high torque
• Nickel chrome plated finish for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Meets or exceeds ASME requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-inch drive deep metric socket compatible with 1/2-inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars accepting 15mm metric fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians as part of standard hand-tool service work. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-torque applications. Follow applicable trade codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening critical fasteners.
