Apex M-1106 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 3/16 in Hex 6-point

Product Description

The APEX M-1106 is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and impact drivers. It accepts 3/16 inch hex fasteners and features a magnetic design that holds the fastener in the driving position, eliminating the need to manually position or stabilize the fastener during installation. Built from alloy steel, this socket measures 7/8 inches in overall length, placing it in the standard-length category. It is a practical choice for mechanics, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals who drive hex-head fasteners in production or service environments.

This socket is suited for both residential and light commercial service work where 1/4 inch drive tooling is standard. The magnetic retention feature is particularly useful in overhead work, confined spaces, or any application where a dropped fastener creates a time loss or safety issue. It is sold individually and carries SAE sizing. Compliance with ANSI and DIN standards makes it appropriate for professional trade use where tooling specifications are required or audited.

Key Features

• Magnetic socket retains the fastener in the driving position, improving control in hard-to-reach or overhead areas
• 6-point contact pattern for reduced fastener rounding under impact torque
• 1/4 inch drive fits standard 1/4 inch impact wrenches and drivers
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact use
• Standard length at 7/8 inches OAL for general-purpose fitment
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service socket for 1/4 inch drive impact tools accepting 3/16 inch hex fasteners in SAE sizing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade professionals using 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches or drivers. Verify the drive tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, as impact sockets are subject to cyclic stress. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand ratchets in applications that exceed the rated torque range of the drive size.
