Gearwrench 80452 Torx Bit Socket 3/8 Inch Drive T45

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80452 is a 3/8 inch drive T45 Torx bit socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service applications. The socket measures 1-55/64 inches overall length with a 1.81 inch bit length, giving the tech enough reach for recessed Torx fasteners without sacrificing drive stability. Constructed from steel with a chrome finish, the 80452 is built to resist corrosion and withstand the torque demands of T45 drive profiles. It meets ANSI and ASME standards, making it a reliable choice for shops where tooling compliance matters.

This socket is suited for technicians working on vehicles, heavy equipment, or machinery where T45 Torx fasteners are common — including drivetrain components, brake assemblies, interior trim hardware, and engine ancillaries. The 3/8 inch drive size pairs with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches in the same drive family. It is packaged as a single unit, making it easy to add as a targeted replacement or gap-filler in an existing socket set.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by automotive technicians and mechanical service professionals. Confirm the fastener is T45 before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive profile. Pair with a calibrated torque wrench when fastener torque specs are required by the service procedure. Inspect the socket for wear or cracks before each use and retire any tool showing deformation.
