Gearwrench 80615 Deep Hand Socket 1/2 in Drive 9/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80615 is a 6-point deep hand socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch square drive ratchet or breaker bar. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts 9/16 inch fasteners and delivers a full 3.031 inches of overall length to reach recessed bolts, studs, and nuts that standard-depth sockets cannot access. The 6-point geometry concentrates drive force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing rounding on worn or tight hardware. This socket meets ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and is tether-capable for use in environments where dropped-tool protocols are required.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC equipment, plumbing fixture, and general mechanical service work where a 9/16 inch fastener sits deep in a recess or on a long stud. It is a common fit for equipment panels, motor mounts, pipe flanges, and conduit fittings. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers working on residential or light commercial systems will find it applicable wherever a 1/2 inch drive tool set is already in use. Package quantity is one socket.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable service procedures for the equipment being serviced. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque required by the fastener specification. Do not use impact-rated tools with this hand socket unless the socket is rated for impact use. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage.
