Gearwrench 80556 12pc 3/8 Drive Socket Set 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80556 is a 12-piece standard socket set built around a 3/8 inch drive and sized from 3/8 inch to 7/8 inch. All sockets feature a 6-point design, which grips fastener flats more fully than 12-point profiles and reduces the risk of rounding under heavy torque. The set is finished in chrome for corrosion resistance and meets ASME B107.1 standards. It ships in a blow-molded case that keeps each socket indexed. This set is appropriate for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work wherever a 3/8 inch drive is the right size for the job.

This socket set is suited for residential and light commercial service applications. The included 3 inch and 6 inch extensions expand reach into recessed fastener locations common in equipment panels, air handlers, condensing units, and plumbing fixture installations. The nine included sockets cover the fractional inch sizes most frequently encountered on North American equipment and fasteners, making this set a practical addition to a field service kit or shop toolbox.

Installation Notes

This set is intended for use by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other trade professionals performing fastener-driven service work. Always power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical or mechanical systems. Inspect sockets and the ratchet for cracks or wear before use, and do not use damaged tools. Extensions should be fully seated before applying torque to avoid slippage.
