Gearwrench 80552 Metric Socket Set 14pc 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80552 is a 14-piece metric standard socket set built for 3/8 inch drive tools. Each socket features a 6-point design that maximizes contact on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. The set spans 6 mm to 19 mm, covering the most common metric fastener sizes encountered in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, electrical panels, and general mechanical work. Sockets are chrome-finished steel and organized on a clip rail for bench or toolbox storage. This set is suited for service technicians, maintenance mechanics, and tradespeople who need a reliable, compact metric socket assortment for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions.

The 80552 is well matched to residential and light commercial service applications where metric fasteners are standard. The 14 included sizes -- 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 mm -- address a wide range of equipment access panels, motor mounts, valve assemblies, and conduit fittings. The clip rail organizer keeps sockets indexed and visible during a service call, reducing time spent searching for individual pieces.

Installation Notes

Socket sets require no installation, but safe use practice applies on every job. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off gas or water supply before breaking fasteners on service components. Inspect sockets for cracks or deformation before use, and do not use impact-rated tools with chrome hand-tool sockets unless the socket is rated for impact service. Follow applicable trade codes -- NEC, IFGC, IPC -- when performing work that requires permitted service.
