Gearwrench 80390S-06 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 8 Mm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80390S-06 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point chrome socket sized for 8 MM fasteners. The full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and makes surface cleaning straightforward. Off-corner loading technology shifts the drive force onto the flat faces of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing rounding and prolonging fastener life. Hard-stamped size markings are deep enough to read quickly in a cluttered tool bag or drawer. At 0.07 pounds, the socket adds minimal weight to a kit while delivering the structural integrity expected on professional job sites across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 8 MM fasteners are common — equipment panels, mounting brackets, access covers, and similar hardware. It is compatible with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension bar, or torque wrench. The 6-point design provides positive engagement on hex fasteners and is particularly useful in confined spaces where maintaining grip on the fastener matters. At 1.81 inches in length, it fits mid-length reach requirements without the added bulk of a deep socket.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive, 6-point geometry for secure engagement on hex fasteners
• Off-corner loading shifts force to fastener flats, reducing rounding
• Full polish chrome finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench accepting 6-point metric sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed using a calibrated torque wrench where manufacturer torque specifications apply.
