Gearwrench 80507 Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 15/16 in 12-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80507 is a 12-point hand socket designed for 3/8 inch square drive ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions. Built from alloy steel with a polished chrome-plated finish, it delivers a 15/16 inch SAE drive size suited for fastener work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service. The 12-point geometry provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, reducing ratchet swing arc in tight spaces. At 1.161 inches overall length, this is a standard-length socket appropriate for everyday service use. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime replacement warranty. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers rely on this socket for routine fastener removal and installation tasks across a wide range of service applications.

This socket is used in residential and commercial service environments wherever a 15/16 inch SAE fastener is encountered. Common applications include mechanical equipment service, panel work, pipe fitting assemblies, and equipment mounting hardware. The 3/8 inch drive size is the most commonly used drive size in trade service kits, balancing torque capacity with access in confined spaces. The 12-point design is compatible with both hex and 12-point fastener heads, making it a versatile addition to any socket set.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand and requires no special tools beyond a compatible 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Always de-energize equipment and relieve system pressure before loosening or torquing fasteners in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical service contexts. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and do not use with impact drivers unless the socket is specifically impact-rated. Tether the tool when working at height or in environments with tool-drop restrictions.
