Gearwrench 80129 7mm 1/4 in Drive 6-point Hand Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80129 is a 7 mm, 6-point hand socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers corrosion resistance and a clean surface for easy marking and identification. The standard-length profile measures 0.965 inches overall, making it suited for tight-access fastener work in engine bays, panels, and equipment enclosures. It is tether capable, meeting the needs of technicians working at height or in environments where dropped tools are a liability. Compliant with ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards, this socket is backed by a lifetime replacement warranty.

This socket fits residential and commercial service work across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical applications wherever 7 mm metric fasteners are encountered. The 1/4 inch drive size is common in light-duty assemblies, control panel work, and access cover removal. The 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs, which is important when working with worn or tight hardware. It is a standard addition to a metric socket set for any trade professional requiring reliable, compact tooling.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench appropriate for the fastener application.

Store in a dry environment to maintain the chrome-plated finish.
