Constructed from alloy steel, this socket is built to handle the high-torque output of pneumatic and electric impact tools without cracking or rounding. A built-in magnetic design holds fasteners securely in the driving position, which reduces fumbling when starting bolts in restricted or overhead areas. At an overall length of approximately 0.87 inches (22.2 mm), the shallow profile fits into tighter spaces than standard-depth sockets. This socket meets ANSI and DIN standards and carries a metric sizing designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and light industrial service work where a 12mm fastener is common. The shallow depth makes it practical for flange bolts, wheel hardware, and other applications where a deep socket would contact surrounding structure. Technicians working on engine accessories, suspension components, and chassis fasteners will find the magnetic retention feature useful when working at awkward angles or in confined bays. The 1\/2 inch drive fits standard impact guns used in professional shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic socket retains fasteners in the driving position, reducing drops and repositioning time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-point contact geometry distributes torque evenly and reduces fastener rounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShallow profile at 22.2 mm overall length fits confined fastener locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction rated for impact tool use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and DIN standards for dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetric sizing — 12mm socket size on 1\/2 inch drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/2 inch drive impact socket compatible with 1\/2 inch drive impact wrenches, extensions, and adapters from major tool manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis socket is intended for use by automotive technicians, mechanical tradespeople, and professional service personnel using 1\/2 inch drive impact tools. Always verify the fastener size before applying impact torque to avoid rounding or stripping. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets in high-torque applications, as hand-tool sockets are not rated for impact loads. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if wear is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shallow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22.2 mm (approximately 0.87 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-Sparking\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, DIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: M-12MM03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542810526002,"sku":"M-12MM03","price":70.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6a654437358786bb19dd65b45715d1f4.jpg?v=1785908046","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-m-12mm03-impact-socket-1-2-in-drive-12mm-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
