Apex M1P08 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 1/4 in Hex 6-point

Product Description

The APEX M1P08 is a 1/4 inch drive, 1/4 inch hex impact socket built for professional fastener driving in demanding trade and industrial applications. Constructed from alloy steel, this 6-point standard-length socket measures 7/8 inches overall length and weighs approximately 1 pound. A built-in magnetic design holds fasteners securely in the driving position, which reduces fumbling and dropped hardware when working straight down or in tight, hard-to-reach spaces. It is rated for self-drilling and tapping screws, making it a practical choice for metal framing, sheet metal work, and mechanical assembly tasks. The socket meets ANSI and DIN standards.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial applications where electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades require a reliable hex-drive socket for self-drilling or self-tapping fastener installation. The magnetic retention feature is especially useful during overhead work, confined-space installations, and repetitive fastening operations where starting fasteners by hand is impractical. Its SAE sizing and standard length fit common 1/4 inch drive impact tools used across mechanical and construction trades.

Key Features

• Magnetic socket retains fastener in driving position, eliminating repositioning during installation
• 6-point hex drive geometry provides positive engagement on self-drilling and tapping screw heads
• Alloy steel construction withstands repeated impact driver use
• Standard length at 7/8 inches overall suits most straight-access fastening applications
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards for dimensional accuracy and performance
• SAE sizing; compatible with 1/4 inch drive impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive hex impact socket for use with 1/4 inch drive impact drivers and ratchets; rated for self-drilling and tapping screw applications in SAE configurations.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket only with the impact driver or ratchet powered down and the tool trigger locked out. Confirm the socket seats fully on the drive anvil before applying torque. This type of socket is not insulated and must not be used near energized electrical components. Follow applicable workplace safety codes and manufacturer tool guidelines when operating impact drivers in trade environments.
