Gearwrench 80364 Deep Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 5/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80364 is a 6-point deep hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. It accepts a 5/16 inch fastener and delivers a full 2.5 inches of working depth, making it suited for reaching recessed bolts, studs, and nuts that standard-length sockets cannot access. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, the 80364 resists corrosion and provides a clean surface for easy identification of socket size. It is tether capable, supporting drop-prevention rigging in elevated or confined work environments. This socket meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime replacement warranty.

This deep socket is used in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service wherever a 3/8 inch drive tool is the preferred drive size. It is well suited for technicians working on equipment with deeply recessed hardware, including motor mounts, bracket bolts, and panel fasteners. The 6-point contact pattern reduces the risk of rounding fastener flats under torque, which is a common advantage over 12-point designs when working with worn or tight hardware.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand on any compatible 3/8 inch square drive tool. Before use, confirm the fastener size matches the 5/16 inch socket to avoid slippage or damage. When using in tethered applications, attach an approved tether lanyard through the tether point before working at height. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if the drive recess or socket walls show deformation.
