Gearwrench 80416 Hand Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 5/32 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80416 is a hand hex bit socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions. It accepts a 5/32 inch hex bit and delivers a total overall length of 1-21/32 inches, with a bit length of 0.984 inches. The socket is constructed from steel with a chrome finish, providing corrosion resistance and durability in daily shop or field use. It meets ANSI, ASME, and SAE standards. Technicians reach for this type of socket when driving hex fasteners in confined or recessed locations where a standard hex key cannot develop adequate torque.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work wherever 5/32 inch hex fasteners are encountered. It pairs with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, or extension. The compact bit length makes it a practical choice for fastener access in equipment panels, blower assemblies, and mechanical enclosures where clearance is limited.
