It features a 6-point geometry that applies force to the flat sides of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. Built from Crestoloy alloy steel and finished with a nickel chrome plating, the cds13n is sized at 6mm and meets or exceeds ASME performance requirements. This socket is suited for mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who work with metric hardware in tight or standard-access applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cds13n fits 6mm metric fasteners and pairs with any standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench. Its standard depth profile makes it a go-to choice for general service work where fastener access is not restricted. The 6-point design performs reliably on both hex bolts and hex nuts in residential and light commercial service environments. Typical applications include panel work, equipment assembly, and mechanical service tasks where metric hardware is common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding during torque application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCrestoloy alloy steel construction for high-strength performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel chrome plated finish resists corrosion and wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets or exceeds ASME requirements for hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard depth profile suits most open-access fastener locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service socket for use with standard 1\/4 inch drive hand tool systems on 6mm metric fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and other trade professionals using standard 1\/4 inch drive hand tools. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless it is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Count\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crestoloy alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel chrome plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: Meets or exceeds ASME requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: cds13n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233384857906,"sku":"CDS13N","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307625505.jpg?v=1780098609","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-cds13n-1-4-in-drive-6mm-6-point-metric-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
