Gearwrench 80373S-06 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 7/8 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80373S-06 is a 7/8 inch, 6-point chrome socket with a 3/8 inch drive, designed for professional tradespeople who need reliable fastener engagement in tight spaces. Constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish, this socket features off-corner loading geometry that directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners. That design reduces fastener rounding and extends tool life on heavily used hardware. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in a cluttered toolbox or bag. At 1.81 inches in length and 0.29 pounds, it is a compact standard-length socket suited for everyday mechanical and electrical work.

This socket is intended for general mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC service applications where a 3/8 inch drive is the preferred torque range. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The 6-point design is well suited to hex fasteners in confined areas where a 12-point socket may slip under load. The standard length makes it appropriate for bolt and nut applications where deep clearance is not required.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding by applying force to flats, not corners
• Full polish chrome alloy steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• 6-point geometry for maximum contact on hex fasteners
• Large, hard-stamped size markings for quick identification
• Standard length at 1.81 inches suits the majority of common fastener applications
• Lightweight at 0.29 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, torque wrenches, and impact-rated accessories compatible with 3/8 inch drive tooling.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand as part of a 3/8 inch drive tool setup. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and do not use impact sockets in place of standard sockets on impact drivers unless the tool is rated for impact use. Disconnect power and de-energize circuits before using hand tools on electrical equipment.
