Gearwrench 80363S-06 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 1/4 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80363S-06 is a 1/4 inch, 6-point socket with a 3/8 inch drive, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for fastener removal and installation in mechanical, electrical, and general trade applications where durability and access are priorities. The off-corner loading design transfers force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Large, hard-stamped size markings aid quick identification in a tool tray or bag. At 0.07 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any 3/8 inch drive socket set.

This socket is suited for use in automotive service, HVAC equipment maintenance, electrical panel work, and plumbing fixture installation where 1/4 inch fasteners are common. The 3/8 inch drive interface is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. At 1.81 inches in length, it fits standard-depth applications and works well in moderately confined spaces without requiring a deep socket.

Key Features

• 6-point design for maximum contact and reduced fastener rounding
• Off-corner loading transfers force to fastener flats, not corners
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Large, hard-stamped markings for fast size identification
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for 3/8 inch drive socket sets requiring a 6-point, 1/4 inch socket in standard length.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slipping. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and do not use impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact service.
