The bright, uncoated finish resists buildup and allows for quick visual inspection of the socket surface. At 97.80 mm (approximately 3.85 inches) overall length, the SA-58-18M delivers the reach needed for fasteners seated in moderate-depth applications. It meets ASME B107.2, B107.33M, and B107.110 standards, making it a code-compliant choice for trade and industrial use. The socket is tether-capable, supporting drop-prevention programs on elevated jobsites or in overhead service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SA-58-18M is suited for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work wherever metric fasteners are encountered. The 18 mm size is common on equipment mounting hardware, flanges, and mechanical assemblies across residential and commercial service work. The 6-point geometry reduces fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs, making it a reliable choice for tight or corroded fasteners. This socket is used by technicians who require a metric, square-drive tool that integrates with standard 1\/2 inch drive ratchets and extensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 mm, 6-point socket minimizes fastener rounding on metric hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch square drive interfaces with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for strength under high-torque hand use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTether-capable design supports drop-prevention programs on elevated or restricted-access jobsites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B107.2, B107.33M, and B107.110 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish for easy inspection and cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 1\/2 inch square drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

De-energize or de-pressurize equipment before servicing fasteners on live electrical, HVAC, or plumbing assemblies per applicable NEC, IFGC, or IPC guidelines. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and do not use impact drivers with this hand-rated socket unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\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: 97.80 mm (approximately 3.85 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsulated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.2, B107.33M, B107.110\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 Month\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: SA-58-18M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538523193650,"sku":"SA-58-18M","price":129.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ca264bf3fe682a1a648b7fa1e231d912.jpg?v=1785824936","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apex-sa-58-18m-hand-socket-1-2-in-drive-18-mm-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
