Built from alloy steel with a proprietary heat treat process, it delivers greater strength and extended bit life compared to standard impact sockets. The 1\/2 inch drive accepts common impact wrenches and air tools, while the 6-point geometry provides a tighter, more consistent fit to fasteners for better torque transfer. Overall length is 2-19\/46 inches. The socket meets ANSI and DIN standards and carries a SAE designation for inch-based fastener sizing. It weighs 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket suits licensed electricians, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors working in both residential and commercial settings. The universal style makes it a practical fit for assembly, maintenance, and service work where impact-rated tooling is required. It is appropriate for use with 1\/2 inch drive pneumatic or electric impact wrenches on standard hex fasteners. The tighter manufacturing tolerances reduce fastener rounding under repeated high-torque cycling, making it well suited for demanding service intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProprietary alloy steel and heat treat process for greater strength and longer service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point socket geometry reduces fastener rounding and improves torque transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTighter manufacturing tolerances for superior product consistency and fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and DIN standards for quality and dimensional accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSAE sizing for 1\/2 inch hex fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal style compatible with standard 1\/2 inch drive impact tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style impact-rated socket for use with standard 1\/2 inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches on 1\/2 inch hex fasteners in SAE applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpact sockets should only be used with impact-rated wrenches; do not substitute chrome hand-tool sockets in impact applications. Verify the drive size and fastener size match before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. No special tools or codes are required for socket replacement, but follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating impact tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-19\/46 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\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, DIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing System\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111704\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: SA-218-D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539376996658,"sku":"SA-218-D","price":108.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b9568aece7c469ab2603163957ce2427.jpg?v=1785838912","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-sa-218-d-impact-socket-1-2-in-drive-6-point-hex","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
