Gearwrench 80451 Torx Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive T40

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80451 is a 3/8 inch drive T40 Torx bit socket designed for fastener removal and installation in automotive, HVAC, and general mechanical service work. Built from steel with a chrome finish, it meets ANSI and ASME standards for dimensional accuracy and strength. The socket measures 1-55/64 inches overall with a 1.81 inch bit length, giving it enough reach for recessed fasteners without sacrificing drive engagement. This is a hand-use socket intended for ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches with a 3/8 inch square drive. Technicians working on equipment with Torx fasteners will find this a reliable fit for production and service applications.

The 80451 is suited for residential and commercial mechanical service where T40 Torx fasteners are common. HVAC technicians frequently encounter Torx fasteners on equipment panels, compressor housings, and fan assemblies. Automotive and general shop technicians use T40 sockets for drivetrain covers, interior trim hardware, and underhood components. The 3/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with mid-range ratchets and torque wrenches commonly found in trade tool sets. It is sold individually as a single replacement socket.
