Gearwrench 80414 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 1/8 in Hex

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80414 is a hand hex bit socket designed for precise fastening and removal of hex fasteners in professional tool applications. Built with a 3/8 inch drive and a 1/8 inch hex bit, it delivers reliable torque transfer in tight spaces where hex fasteners are common. The socket measures 1-21/32 inches in overall length with a 0.984 inch bit length, making it compact enough for confined work areas. Finished in chrome over a steel body, it resists corrosion and wear through regular trade use. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians keep this type of socket in rotation for equipment service and panel work.

This hex bit socket suits residential and light commercial service work where 1/8 inch hex fasteners appear on equipment covers, set screws, valve assemblies, and mechanical components. The 3/8 inch drive accepts standard 3/8 inch ratchets, extension bars, and torque wrenches, making it compatible with most common drive tool sets found in service vans and shop toolboxes. It is sold individually and is suited for both initial installations and routine service calls.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to avoid slipping or rounding the fastener. Inspect the bit tip for wear before use on precision fasteners. Follow applicable equipment service manuals and trade codes when servicing energized or pressurized systems.
