Gearwrench 80555 Deep Socket Set 3/8 in Drive 11 Pc

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80555 is an 11-piece deep socket set built for professional mechanics, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need extended reach on recessed or deeply seated fasteners. The set runs on a 3/8 inch drive and covers sizes from 1/4 inch through 7/8 inch in fractional inch increments. Each socket features a 6-point geometry, which grips fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the chance of rounding worn or corroded hardware. A chrome finish provides corrosion resistance for shop and field use. Sockets ship on a clip rail for organized storage and quick access at the toolbox or on the job.

This set is intended for automotive repair, HVAC service, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical work where a standard-depth socket cannot clear a stud or extended bolt thread. The 3/8 inch drive is a common choice for mid-range torque applications, compatible with ratchets, extension bars, and torque wrenches in the same drive size. The 11 individual sizes cover the most frequently encountered fractional inch fastener range in residential and light commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 11-piece set covering 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, and 7/8 inch sizes
• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding on worn hardware
• Deep profile provides clearance over studs and long bolt threads
• Chrome finish resists corrosion in shop and field environments
• Clip rail storage keeps sockets organized and accounts for the full set

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, extension, or torque wrench. Sized in fractional inch increments for standard SAE fasteners common in automotive, HVAC, and plumbing applications. Meets ASME B107.1 standards for hand tools.

Installation Notes

Always select the correct socket size for the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Inspect each socket for cracks or deformation before use, particularly after high-torque applications. Use a torque wrench where fastener specifications require a precise value. Store on the included clip rail to maintain the full set and prevent loss in the field.
