Gearwrench 80108 Hand Socket 1/4 in Drive 9/32 in 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80108 is a 6-point hand socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. It accepts 9/32 inch fasteners and is machined from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish that resists corrosion and makes wiping down the socket after use quick and easy. The 6-point design applies force to the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. At 0.965 inches in overall length, this is a standard-length socket suitable for most accessible fastener locations. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general service mechanics keep this size on hand for panel work, equipment mounting hardware, and small-fastener applications.

This socket fits residential and light commercial service work where 9/32 inch SAE fasteners appear on equipment panels, brackets, and junction boxes. It is compatible with any standard 1/4 inch drive tool, including ratchets, torque wrenches, and flex handles. The tether-capable design supports tool-tethering programs in elevated or overhead work environments. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime replacement warranty from GEARWRENCH.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the equipment being serviced. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before accessing panels or fasteners on live systems. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slipping. For tethered applications, use only compatible tether hardware rated for the tool weight and work environment.
