Gearwrench 80363 Deep Hand Socket 3/8 Drive 1/4 Inch 6 Point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80363 is a deep hand socket designed for 3/8-inch drive applications requiring extended reach in confined or recessed fastener locations. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it measures 2.5 inches in overall length and features a 6-point hex drive geometry. The 6-point design maximizes contact surface on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding. This socket is tether capable, making it suited for elevated work environments where dropped-tool protocols are enforced. It complies with ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime replacement warranty.

This socket is a standard addition to any service technician's drive set. Its 1/4-inch socket size and deep-length profile make it useful in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where fasteners are recessed behind panels, flanges, or structural members. The tether-capable design allows attachment of a tool lanyard or tether anchor, meeting tool-control requirements on rooftop equipment, elevated platforms, and other work-at-height situations. Suitable for residential and light commercial service calls.

Installation Notes

Verify the drive tool is a compatible 3/8-inch square drive before use. Ensure the fastener and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. When using in tether-required environments, attach an approved tool lanyard through the tether point before beginning work. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and retire any damaged tooling per shop safety policy.
