Gearwrench 80706 15pc 1/2 in Drive Socket Set 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80706 is a 15-piece standard socket set built around a 1/2 inch drive system, covering sizes from 7/16 inch through 1-1/8 inch in 6-point configuration. Each socket is machined from steel with a chrome finish that resists corrosion and wipes clean after use. The 6-point geometry reduces rounding on fastener flats compared to 12-point designs, making this set a reliable choice for automotive, fleet, and general mechanical work. The set meets ASME standards B107.10 and B107.1. It ships in a blow-molded case that keeps all 15 pieces indexed and protected on the job or in a service van.

This set is suited for automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and maintenance professionals working on medium to heavy fasteners in engine bays, suspension, drivetrain, and equipment maintenance applications. The included 15 inch and 5 inch extensions expand reach into recessed fastener locations without requiring a separate extension purchase. The 1/2 inch drive sizing bridges light-duty and heavy-duty work, handling torque loads that exceed what a 3/8 inch drive setup can manage safely.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic or qualified technician should verify fastener torque specifications from the OEM service manual before use. Always match socket size precisely to the fastener to avoid slippage or rounding. Inspect sockets for cracks or chips before applying high torque loads, and remove from service any socket showing visible wear or deformation.
