Built with a 1\/4 inch square drive and a 3\/16 inch hex bit, it delivers direct torque transfer to hex-head screws and bolts. The socket measures 1-17\/32 inches overall length with a 0.984 inch bit length, making it compact enough for confined work areas. Constructed from steel with a chrome finish, it resists corrosion and wear under regular shop use. Mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance professionals keep this socket on hand for precision fastener work on equipment panels, assemblies, and fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex bit socket is suited for both residential and light commercial maintenance applications where 3\/16 inch hex fasteners are common. It fits standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and T-handles, giving technicians flexibility in how they apply torque. Typical install scenarios include equipment panel fasteners, set screws on pulleys and collars, and hardware on mechanical assemblies. The compact overall length allows access in spaces where longer sockets or L-key wrenches cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch square drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and T-handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch hex bit for direct engagement with hex fasteners and set screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.984 inch bit length for reliable depth engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-17\/32 inch overall length suits confined and recessed fastener locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards for hand socket tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement hex bit socket for use with any standard 1\/4 inch drive socket set, ratchet, or T-handle driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is installed and used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals. Before servicing any equipment, power down electrical systems and relieve any stored mechanical energy per standard lockout\/tagout procedures. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive tool and fully engaged in the fastener before applying torque to prevent cam-out or fastener damage. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use on precision fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-17\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.984 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ASME B107.1, SAE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEARWRENCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539394036018,"sku":"80158","price":18.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c60d292918173f922a75e628c8538746.jpg?v=1785839048","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gearwrench-80158-hand-hex-bit-socket-1-4-in-drive-3-16-in-hex","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
