It features a 1\/4 inch drive and a 0.25 inch (1\/4 inch) hex socket size with a 6-point contact profile. The integrated magnet retains fasteners on the bit during placement, reducing drop-and-retrieve cycles on the job. This socket is suited for use with standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extension bars, and impact-rated handles. At 0.05 pounds, it is lightweight enough for overhead and confined-space work common in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis socket is a practical tool for trade professionals who regularly install sheet metal screws in ductwork, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and light-gauge metal assemblies. The magnetic retention feature is especially useful when working in positions where a dropped fastener is difficult to recover. It fits standard 1\/4 inch drive tooling already common in most field technician kits, requiring no additional adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic design retains SAE sheet metal screws during placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-point contact profile for solid engagement and reduced fastener rounding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extension bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.25 inch (1\/4 inch) hex socket size for SAE sheet metal screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.05 pounds for extended use in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, handles, and extension bars.

No power-down procedures are required for the socket itself, but always de-energize electrical panels and enclosures before driving fasteners into or near live components. Use with a torque-limiting handle where fastener specifications call for controlled installation into light-gauge sheet metal to avoid stripping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square Drive\u003c\/li\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: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE Sheet Metal Screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111704\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: M1E08\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544121180466,"sku":"M1E08","price":21.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/529db777af150a090d3569c19052c644.jpg?v=1785924456","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-m1e08-square-drive-socket-1-4-inch-drive-magnetic","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
