Gearwrench 80176D Torx Bit Socket 1/4 Inch Drive T27

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80176D is a hand Torx bit socket designed for T27 fasteners. It accepts a 1/4 inch drive and features a bit length of 0.984 inches. Constructed from chrome-finished steel, this socket delivers the durability needed for repetitive fastener work in automotive, mechanical, and equipment service applications. The compact form factor suits confined spaces where a standard driver or full-size socket set cannot reach. Technicians and mechanics reaching for a T27 drive tool in daily shop work will find this socket a straightforward drop-in for their 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extension sets.

This socket fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is suited for automotive service, equipment maintenance, and general mechanical work where T27 Torx fasteners are used. The T27 size is common in European vehicle platforms, small engine assemblies, and various electronic enclosures encountered in HVAC and electrical trade work. It is equally at home in a professional shop as in a field service kit.

Key Features

• T27 Torx bit profile for precise engagement on T27 fasteners
• 1/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 0.984 inch bit length suits tight clearance applications
• Chrome-finished steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Meets ANSI and ASME standards for hand tool performance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or addition for any standard 1/4 inch drive socket system requiring T27 Torx bit coverage.

Installation Notes

Seat the socket fully onto the 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the Torx bit tip for wear before use, as a worn tip can damage fastener heads. When using with a torque wrench, verify the torque specification from the equipment service manual rather than estimating. Store separately from impact tools, as this socket is rated for hand-drive use only.
