Gearwrench 80117S-06 1/4 in Drive 6 Pt 1/4 in Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80117S-06 is a 1/4-inch drive, 6-point socket sized at 1/4 inch, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. The 6-point geometry uses an off-corner loading design that transfers torque to the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or corroded hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings on the socket body allow for quick identification in a tray or bag. At 1.25 inches in length and 0.03 pounds, this is a standard-length socket suited for general fastening tasks in tight quarters.

This socket is designed for use in automotive, mechanical, and light industrial applications where a compact 1/4-inch drive setup is appropriate. Standard-length 1/4-inch drive sockets are commonly used with ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in HVAC service, electrical panel work, equipment maintenance, and general mechanical repair. The 1/4-inch size fits a wide range of small fasteners encountered in these trades daily.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding by applying force to flat faces
• 6-point geometry provides a more secure grip on hex fasteners compared to 12-point designs
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Large hard-stamped markings allow fast size identification
• Alloy steel construction for strength and durability under torque
• Standard length at 1.25 inches fits most common fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch drive socket compatible with 1/4-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches following standard drive tool conventions.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any standard 1/4-inch drive ratchet or extension. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive tool before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on critical fasteners. Do not use impact-rated drive tools with chrome hand-tool sockets unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.
