Gearwrench 80138S-06 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 4 Mm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80138S-06 is a 4 MM, 6-point socket with a 1/4 inch drive, finished in full polish chrome. Designed for speed and durability, it features an off-corner loading design that directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing fastener rounding and extending the working life of both the socket and the fastener. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a busy toolbox or on a cluttered workbench. At 0.03 pounds and 1.25 inches in length, this is a compact, lightweight socket suited for tight-access work.

This socket is built for professional tradespeople and experienced DIYers who need reliable metric hand tools across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work. The 1/4 inch drive size makes it well suited for smaller fasteners and confined spaces where a larger drive would be impractical. It is sold individually and integrates into any standard 1/4 inch drive socket set or ratchet setup.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces force on fastener corners, minimizing rounding during removal and installation
• 6-point geometry provides a secure, full-contact grip on hex fasteners
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Large, hard-stamped size markings for fast identification
• Compact 1.25 inch length suits tight clearance applications
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting 1/4 inch drive accessories.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the fastener and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage. Do not use impact drivers with this socket unless it is explicitly rated for impact use. Always select the correct metric size to avoid rounding fastener heads.
