Gearwrench 80140S-06 Socket 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 5.5 Mm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80140S-06 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point chrome socket sized at 5.5 MM, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use in automotive, mechanical, and general trade service applications where precise torque transfer and fastener protection are required. The 6-point geometry and off-corner loading design apply force to the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in a busy shop or field environment.

This socket fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is suited for light-duty fastener work in tight or confined spaces where a smaller drive size is practical. Typical applications include HVAC equipment service, electrical panel work, and automotive repair where 5.5 MM fasteners are common. The compact form factor and full polish finish make it a durable everyday addition to a professional socket set.

Key Features

• 6-point off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding and improves grip on worn hardware
• Full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup
• Large hard-stamped markings for quick size identification
• Alloy steel construction for strength and durability under load
• 1/4 inch drive compatibility with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement and add-on socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive socket systems accepting 6-point metric sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket should be installed and used by qualified trade professionals familiar with hand tool safety practices. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and drive tool before applying torque. Do not use impact drivers or air tools with chrome sockets not rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if any damage is found.
