Gearwrench 80594 Deep Socket 3/8 in Drive 15/16 in 12-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80594 is a deep hand socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions. It measures 15/16 inch across the socket opening and features a 12-point geometry for engagement on standard hex fasteners. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it resists corrosion and stands up to repeated use in shop and field environments. At 2.5 inches in overall length, the deep profile provides the clearance needed to reach recessed or stubbed fasteners that a standard-depth socket cannot access. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades all rely on deep sockets like this for equipment installation and service work.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 3/8 inch drive tool set is in use. The deep length is particularly useful on fasteners with long exposed threads, nuts on threaded rod, or hardware recessed inside panels, junction boxes, or mechanical assemblies. The 12-point design allows the socket to engage at 30-degree intervals, making it practical in tight quarters where full handle rotation is not possible. It is SAE-sized and intended for use on inch-measurement fasteners.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, extension, or torque wrench accepting standard SAE deep hand sockets.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque required before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. When working on live electrical panels or energized equipment, confirm power is isolated before applying any hand tools to hardware. Follow applicable trade codes and employer tool-safety policies when using tethering hardware in elevated work environments.
