Gearwrench 80350 1/4 Inch 6-point Hand Socket 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80350 is a 1/4-inch, 6-point hand socket designed for use with a 3/8-inch hex drive. Built from alloy steel with a polished chrome-plated finish, this standard-length socket measures 0.984 inches in overall length and weighs 0.04 pounds. The 6-point geometry concentrates torque on the flat faces of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. It is tether capable, making it suitable for use in environments where dropped tools are a concern. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers alike will find it straightforward to integrate into an existing 3/8-inch drive set.

This socket is intended for general mechanical and maintenance applications where a 1/4-inch SAE fastener is present. Typical use cases include light-duty assembly, equipment servicing, and mechanical repair work in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. The standard length profile fits into most common fastener recesses without requiring an extension in typical applications. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime replacement warranty from GEARWRENCH.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners using this socket should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson familiar with proper torque procedures. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying load to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
