Gearwrench 80119S-06 1/4 in Drive 6 Pt 5/16 in Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80119S-06 is a 5/16 inch, 6-point chrome socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Built from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, this standard-length socket measures 1.25 inches long and weighs 0.03 pounds. The off-corner loading design applies torque to the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding fastener heads under load. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a tray or tool bag. It is sold individually and suits professional technicians who demand reliable hand tools across automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work.

This socket is intended for standard-reach fastening tasks where a 1/4 inch drive is the appropriate torque range. The 6-point geometry provides maximum contact surface on hex fasteners, making it well suited for stubborn or tight-tolerance hardware. Its compact standard length is useful in moderately confined spaces where a deep socket would add unnecessary extension. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanics regularly reach for 1/4 inch drive sockets when working on panels, equipment covers, and small mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding by directing force onto flat faces
• 6-point geometry maximizes contact on hex fasteners for improved grip under load
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup
• Hard-stamped size markings remain legible throughout the life of the tool
• Standard length at 1.25 inches suits most general-purpose fastening applications
• Alloy steel construction provides strength appropriate for 1/4 inch drive torque ranges

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches using a square drive interface.

Installation Notes

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque. Inspect the socket and fastener head for wear or damage before use, as a compromised socket can slip and cause injury. Do not use impact-rated tools with chrome hand sockets; impact applications require sockets rated specifically for impact use. Always relieve system pressure or disconnect power before accessing fasteners on energized or pressurized equipment.
