Gearwrench 80367 Deep Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 1/2 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80367 is a 6-point deep hand socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts 1/2 inch fasteners and provides the extended reach needed to seat on recessed or studded hardware. At 2.5 inches in overall length, the deep profile clears nuts on long bolts, studs, and raised fastener applications where a standard-depth socket would bottom out. The chrome plating resists corrosion and makes cleanup easier in shop environments. It is tether capable, meeting requirements for tool accountability in elevated or confined-space work. Meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime replacement warranty.

This socket fits residential and commercial maintenance, automotive, HVAC equipment service, and general mechanical work where a 3/8 inch drive is the appropriate torque range. The 6-point geometry reduces fastener rounding by applying force to the flat faces of hex hardware rather than the corners. Typical install scenarios include compressor service, equipment panel fasteners, pipe flange bolts, and structural hardware encountered in plumbing and HVAC rough-in work. Sold as a single socket, it is suitable as a standalone addition to an existing drive set.

Key Features

• 6-point design contacts flat faces of hex fasteners to reduce rounding under load
• Deep profile at 2.5 inches overall length reaches recessed nuts and long-stud fasteners
• Alloy steel construction for strength across the full torque range of a 3/8 inch drive
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Tether capable for tool accountability in elevated or confined-space applications
• Meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards; covered by lifetime replacement warranty

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench accepting SAE 1/2 inch hex fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a qualified mechanic or service technician following applicable torque specifications for the fastener being driven. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact-rated drivers with this hand socket unless it is explicitly rated for impact use.
