Gearwrench 80515D Deep Socket 3/8 in Drive 5/8 in 12-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80515D is a deep hand socket built for professional hand-tool use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications. It accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits a 5/8 inch fastener with a 12-point contact pattern that allows engagement from multiple angles — useful in tight or obstructed fastener positions. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, the socket delivers corrosion resistance alongside the structural strength needed for daily shop or field use. At 2.5 inches in overall length, the deep profile reaches recessed nuts and studs that a standard-length socket cannot access. The 80515D meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and carries a lifetime limited warranty.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work where recessed or deeply seated fasteners are common — equipment panels, motor mounts, pipe fittings, conduit hardware, and structural assemblies. The 12-point geometry accommodates both standard hex fasteners and provides additional engagement positions in confined spaces. Tether-capable design supports tool-tethering programs for elevated or safety-critical work environments. The chrome-plated finish wipes clean and resists rust in humid or wet service conditions common in HVAC and plumbing work.

• Deep profile at 2.5 inches overall length reaches recessed and stud-mounted fasteners
• Alloy steel construction for high torque capacity and long service life
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Tether-capable design supports tool-control and fall-protection programs
• Meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards; lifetime limited warranty

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit deep socket for any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench. Fits 5/8 inch SAE hex fasteners in residential and commercial mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid fastener rounding. Do not use impact drivers with this hand-rated socket unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
