Gearwrench 80592 Deep Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 15/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80592 is a 6-point deep hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts a 15/16 inch fastener and measures 2.5 inches in overall length, giving it the reach needed to seat on recessed or extended fasteners. The 6-point design applies torque to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Weighing 0.47 pounds, it is a standard addition to any mechanic or service technician's socket set. It carries ANSI and ASME B107.1 compliance and is covered by a lifetime limited warranty.

This deep socket is suited for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical service work where a standard-depth socket lacks the reach to engage a fastener. Typical applications include wheel hub nuts, suspension components, engine hardware, and any recessed hex fastener requiring a 15/16 inch drive. It fits 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The tether-capable design allows it to be used in elevated or overhead work environments where tool retention is required by site safety policy.

Key Features

• 6-point socket geometry engages fastener flats to reduce rounding under high torque
• Deep length at 2.5 inches overall provides reach for recessed or studded fasteners
• Alloy steel construction with chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and wipes clean
• Tether-capable design supports use in fall-hazard or tool-control environments
• Meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards for hand socket tools
• Lifetime limited warranty coverage

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits any 15/16 inch SAE hex fastener requiring a deep-reach socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove by a qualified mechanic or service technician using a compatible 3/8 inch drive tool. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damaged.
