Gearwrench 80122D Deep Hand Socket 1/4 in Drive 7/16 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80122D is a 6-point deep hand socket designed for 1/4 inch drive tools. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it fits a 7/16 inch fastener and delivers the extended reach needed to seat on recessed or deep-set bolts and nuts. The 6-point geometry maximizes contact on hex fasteners, reducing rounding under torque. At 1.929 inches overall length, it is suited for tight engine bays, panel work, and general mechanical tasks where a standard-depth socket falls short. This socket meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and is covered by a lifetime limited warranty. Licensed technicians, mechanics, and skilled tradespeople reach for this socket for everyday hand-tool service work.

This socket is appropriate for residential and light commercial maintenance, automotive service, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, and general mechanical repair. Its 1/4 inch drive sizing makes it compatible with standard 1/4 inch ratchets, extensions, and drive accessories commonly found in trade tool sets. The deep length is particularly useful when driving fasteners with exposed stud threads or when working inside recessed cavities where a shallow socket cannot fully engage.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners should be performed with a properly rated 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
