Apex MX-1110 Impact Socket 5/16 Inch Hex Drive 6-point

Product Description

The APEX MX-1110 is a 5/16 inch, 6-point impact socket with a hex drive configuration, built for high-torque fastening applications in trade and industrial environments. Manufactured from alloy steel using a proprietary steel and heat treat process, it delivers greater strength and longer service life than standard impact sockets. The overall length is 1 inch, making it a standard-length socket suitable for confined and open fastening tasks alike. Licensed tradespeople including electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors will find this socket appropriate for powered impact tool use on hex-head fasteners where consistent torque transfer is critical.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work wherever 5/16 inch hex fasteners are encountered. Its magnetic style aids fastener retention during overhead or awkward-angle installations, reducing drop risk. The tighter manufacturing tolerances and consistent fit reduce fastener rounding under impact load, making it a reliable choice for repetitive production or service work. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for individual socket set builds or direct replacement of a worn socket in an existing set.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch socket size, 6-point contact geometry for reduced fastener rounding
• Hex drive style for direct compatibility with hex-shank impact drivers and wrenches
• Alloy steel construction with proprietary heat treat process for greater strength and longer service life
• Magnetic style aids fastener retention during installation
• Standard 1 inch overall length fits most open and moderately confined fastening applications
• Meets ANSI and DIN standards for dimensional accuracy and performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with hex-drive impact drivers and wrenches requiring a 5/16 inch socket capacity in standard length configuration.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be used with impact-rated tools; do not substitute standard chrome sockets on impact drivers or wrenches. Ensure the tool is powered down or disconnected from its power source before changing sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace any damaged socket immediately. Alloy steel sockets are not rated for use in explosive atmospheres as this part is not non-sparking rated.
