Apex MB-13MM23 13mm Deep Impact Socket 6-point

Product Description

The APEX MB-13MM23 is a 13mm deep-well impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service work. Built from alloy steel with a manganese phosphate finish, it provides corrosion resistance and reduces galling under repeated impact use. The socket features a 6-point hex drive geometry and a deep-well profile with an overall length of 50.8 mm (approximately 2 inches), giving it the reach needed for recessed fasteners, long studs, and extended bolt threads. A spring-loaded or hollow cylinder magnet integrated into the socket body holds the bolt or stud in place as the nut runs down, keeping hardware captured during installation and removal. This socket meets ANSI, DIN, and ASME B107.1 standards.

The MB-13MM23 is suited for professional mechanics, service technicians, and tradespeople working in automotive, HVAC equipment service, and light industrial maintenance. The deep-well design handles applications where standard-depth sockets cannot fully seat, such as threaded rod, stud-mounted fasteners, and components with protruding bolt shanks. Its metric sizing makes it a direct fit for 13mm fasteners commonly found on imported vehicles and metric-spec mechanical equipment.

Key Features

• 13mm 6-point hex drive for maximum contact on fastener flats, reducing rounding under impact load
• Deep-well profile at 50.8 mm overall length accommodates long studs and recessed fasteners
• Integrated magnetic bolt clearance system captures and retains bolts and studs during installation
• Alloy steel construction with manganese phosphate finish for impact durability and corrosion resistance
• Meets ANSI, DIN, and ASME B107.1 standards for impact socket performance
• Non-insulated, non-sparking designation noted; intended for standard impact driver and impact wrench use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style metric impact socket compatible with standard hex drive impact wrenches and drivers accepting the appropriate drive size for this socket series.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use with impact wrenches and impact drivers by qualified mechanics or service technicians. Confirm the drive size of the impact tool matches this socket before use. Do not use impact sockets with hand-torque ratchets not rated for impact loads, as socket or tool damage may result. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
