Gearwrench 80400S-06 Socket 3/8 in Drive 6 Point 18 Mm

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80400S-06 is a 3/8 inch drive, 6-point chrome socket sized at 18 MM, constructed from alloy steel with a full polish chrome finish. It is designed for use across a wide range of fastening and removal tasks where strength, speed, and access are critical. The off-corner loading design directs force onto the flats of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Large, hard-stamped size markings make identification fast in the field. At 0.21 pounds and 1.81 inches in length, this is a standard-length socket suited for everyday professional use.

This socket is appropriate for automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications where a 3/8 inch drive is the standard drive size. The 18 MM size fits common metric fasteners found in engines, chassis components, HVAC equipment, and industrial machinery. It is sold individually and is suitable for use with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or breaker bar. Technicians in automotive, mechanical, and maintenance trades will find it applicable across both light-duty and moderate-duty fastening work.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding by directing force to flats

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by automotive technicians, mechanical contractors, and maintenance professionals. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Store separately from impact sockets to avoid confusion.
