Gearwrench 80456D T40 Torx Bit Socket 3/8 Inch Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80456D is a hand Torx bit socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions. It accepts T40 Torx fasteners and features a tamper-resistant bit profile, making it suitable for fasteners with a center post that standard Torx sockets cannot engage. The bit length measures 1.181 inches. Constructed from steel with a chrome finish, this socket is built for repeated use in professional service environments. Technicians in HVAC, automotive, and general mechanical trades reach for this type of socket when servicing equipment with security Torx fasteners on panels, housings, and assemblies.

This socket suits applications where T40 tamper-resistant Torx fasteners appear on equipment enclosures, motor housings, appliance panels, and industrial machinery. It is a practical addition to any service van or shop toolbox where security fastener profiles are encountered regularly. The 3/8 inch drive size fits mid-range drive tools commonly found in trade toolkits, providing a good balance between torque capacity and access in tighter spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with fastener torque requirements for the equipment being serviced. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding the Torx profile. Disconnect power or shut off relevant systems before accessing fastened panels or assemblies. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless the socket is rated for impact use.
