Apex cds64n 1/2 Dr 12 Point Sae Socket 1-1/8 in

Product Description

The APEX cds64n is a 1-1/8 inch, 12-point standard SAE socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Built from Crestoloy alloy steel, it delivers high tensile strength for demanding fastener work in trade and industrial applications. The off-corner loading design contacts the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or corroded hardware. A nickel chrome plated finish resists corrosion and wear during daily use. This socket meets or exceeds ASME performance requirements, making it a reliable choice for professional mechanics, HVAC techs, plumbers, and electricians working on equipment assemblies and structural fasteners.

The cds64n is suited for both residential service work and light industrial applications where a 1/2 inch drive tool is standard. It fits the wide range of 1-1/8 inch SAE fasteners commonly found on HVAC equipment panels, pipe flanges, valve assemblies, electrical enclosures, and structural hardware. Technicians working in the field or in a shop environment will find this socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and impact-rated drive tools where applicable.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive, 12-point design for high-engagement fastener contact
• Off-corner load feature reduces fastener rounding on worn or corroded hardware
• Crestoloy alloy steel construction for durability under high torque
• Nickel chrome plated finish for corrosion and wear resistance
• Meets or exceeds ASME requirements for socket performance
• Standard SAE sizing at 1-1/8 inch for broad fastener compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition to 1/2 inch drive SAE socket sets used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by licensed tradespeople and professional mechanics working on equipment requiring 1/2 inch drive tooling. Always confirm the fastener size before applying torque to avoid rounding. When using with a torque wrench, follow the equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the fastener being serviced. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
