Gearwrench 80636D 1/2 Drive 6 Point 24mm Standard Hand Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80636D is a 24mm metric standard hand socket built for professional use in automotive, industrial, and mechanical service work. It accepts a 1/2 inch drive and features a 6-point hex geometry that delivers full contact on fastener flats, reducing the chance of rounding under heavy torque loads. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, the socket measures 1.488 inches in overall length. It is tether capable, making it suited for elevated work environments or drop-hazard areas where tool retention is required by site safety protocols.

This socket is intended for general-purpose mechanical applications where a standard-length 1/2 inch drive metric socket is called for. It fits into the everyday toolset of automotive technicians, fleet maintenance crews, and industrial mechanics. The tether-capable design makes it a practical choice for technicians working on elevated platforms, overhead installations, or in any environment governed by dropped-object prevention programs. It is sold individually and carries a lifetime warranty from GEARWRENCH.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with fastener torque requirements for the specific application. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque being applied before use. This socket is not insulated and must not be used on energized electrical components. When used in tethered applications, attach an appropriate tool lanyard rated for the weight of the socket before working at height.
