Gearwrench 80593 Deep Hand Socket 3/8 in Drive 1 in 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80593 is a 6-point deep hand socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. It accepts a 1 inch fastener and measures 2.5 inches in overall length, giving technicians the reach needed to seat on recessed or deeply set bolts and nuts. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, the socket resists corrosion and cleans up easily between jobs. The 6-point design engages fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Tether-capable construction supports tool-tethering programs in elevated or safety-critical work environments.

This socket suits a wide range of professional applications including automotive service, fleet maintenance, and general mechanical assembly. It is sized for 1 inch SAE fasteners commonly found on suspension components, drivetrain hardware, and heavy equipment fittings. The deep profile is particularly useful when driving fasteners with extended threads or when clearance over a stud is required. Licensed mechanics, fleet technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary users of this socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand tool professionals using standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, or breaker bars. Always confirm the fastener size before applying torque to avoid socket or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and remove from service if wear is detected. When used in safety-sensitive environments, attach an approved tether lanyard through the tether point before beginning work at elevation.
