Gearwrench 80155 Hex Bit Socket 1/4 in Drive 1/8 in Hex

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80155 is a 1/4 inch drive hand hex bit socket designed for driving 1/8 inch hex fasteners in tight-tolerance assembly and service work. Built from steel with a chrome finish, this socket measures 1-17/32 inches in overall length with a 0.984 inch bit length. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards, making it appropriate for professional hand-tool use. Mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians reach for this style of bit socket when working with hex-drive fasteners in equipment panels, terminal boxes, and mechanical assemblies where a standard hex key lacks the torque leverage of a ratchet drive.

The 80155 fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is suited for residential and light commercial service work involving hex-head fasteners in HVAC equipment covers, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical components. The compact overall length allows use in moderately confined spaces without requiring a specialty low-profile tool.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch drive accepts standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 1/8 inch hex bit size for small hex-drive fasteners
• 0.984 inch bit length provides adequate fastener engagement
• Steel construction with chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards
• Compact 1-17/32 inch overall length for use in moderately confined areas

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 1/4 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench requiring a 1/8 inch hex bit socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench appropriate to the fastener specification. Ensure the bit is fully seated in the fastener recess before applying torque to avoid rounding the hex drive. Do not use impact drivers with this hand-rated socket. Follow applicable equipment service manuals for fastener torque requirements.
