Apex M-1112 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 3/8 in Hex 6-pt

Product Description

The APEX M-1112 is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact tools. It accepts 3/8 inch hex fasteners and measures 1 inch overall length, making it a standard-length socket suited for close-quarters and production fastening work. Constructed from alloy steel, it is built to handle the rotational stress and vibration generated by pneumatic and electric impact drivers. A built-in magnetic retention feature holds the fastener securely in driving position without the need for manual steadying, which reduces fumbling in hard-to-reach areas and speeds up repetitive fastening tasks. Licensed mechanics, maintenance techs, and assembly professionals will find this socket useful across a wide range of SAE fastener applications.

This socket is intended for use in production, maintenance, and repair environments where 3/8 inch hex fasteners are common. Its standard 1-inch overall length suits general-purpose driving where clearance is not severely limited. The magnetic design is particularly useful when starting fasteners overhead or in confined spaces where the fastener cannot be hand-held in place. It meets ANSI and DIN standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material integrity appropriate for professional-grade impact service.

Key Features

• Magnetic socket retains the fastener in driving position, eliminating repositioning during installation
• 6-point contact geometry distributes torque evenly across fastener flats, reducing rounding risk
• Alloy steel construction handles the cyclic stress and vibration of impact tool use
• Standard 1 inch overall length fits most general-access fastening scenarios
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards for dimensional and material compliance
• SAE sizing — 3/8 inch hex drive on a 1/4 inch drive shank

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with standard 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extension bars in professional trade and production environments.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket with the impact tool depowered or the air supply disconnected. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the retaining ring or detent is engaged before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use — damaged impact sockets should be removed from service immediately. This socket is not insulated and is not rated for live electrical work.
