Manufactured from S2 alloy steel, the socket delivers high torsional strength and resists deformation under load. The full polish chrome finish resists rust and corrosion and wipes clean without special solvents. At 0.688 inches in bit length and a total length of 1.53 inches, this is a compact tool suited for close-quarter fastening tasks. Mechanics, HVAC technicians, and electricians use this socket where T8 Torx fasteners appear on equipment panels, control boards, and enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit socket is used in light industrial, automotive, HVAC, and electrical service applications where T8 Torx drive fasteners are standard. The 1\/4 inch drive shank fits standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters. It is sold individually and is well suited for technicians who need a replacement or addition to an existing socket set without purchasing a full kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT8 Torx drive profile for compatible recessed fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS2 alloy steel construction for high torsional strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull polish chrome finish resists rust and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch drive shank fits standard ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 1.53 inch total length suited for close-quarter applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 1\/4 inch drive T8 Torx bit socket compatible with 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters from major tool platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsert the 1\/4 inch drive shank fully into the ratchet or extension before applying torque.
