Gearwrench 80365 Deep Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80365 is a deep hand socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in tight or recessed applications. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this socket fits a 3/8 inch drive and accepts 3/8 inch fasteners. The 6-point contact geometry distributes torque evenly across the flat faces of a hex fastener, reducing the risk of rounding. At 2.5 inches in overall length, the deep profile reaches fasteners that standard-length sockets cannot access. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime replacement warranty.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where recessed or stud-mounted fasteners are common. The 3/8 inch drive size is standard across a wide range of ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches, making this socket compatible with most mid-size drive tool setups found in professional service environments. The tether-capable design supports use in elevated or overhead work areas where tool retention is required by site safety protocols.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a calibrated torque wrench or ratchet rated for 3/8 inch drive. Ensure the fastener and socket are fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use. Service should be performed by a qualified technician following applicable industry and site safety standards.
