Gearwrench 80143S-06 1/4 in Drive 6 Point 8MM Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80143S-06 is a 1/4 inch drive, 6-point, 8MM full polish chrome socket designed for professional fastener work in tight or general-access applications. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding damaged or corroded hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in a tray or bag. Weighing 0.03 pounds and measuring 1.25 inches in length, this socket is compact and suited for work in confined spaces. It is intended for use by mechanics, technicians, and trade professionals who require reliable hand-tool performance.

This socket fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. The 8MM size is commonly used on metric fasteners found in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture hardware, and light mechanical assemblies. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use in oily or dirty environments. It is sold individually and is a direct addition to any 1/4 inch drive metric socket set.
