Gearwrench 80708 18pc Metric Socket Set 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80708 is an 18-piece metric socket set built around a 1/2 inch drive system. It covers a range of 10 mm through 24 mm using 6-point socket geometry, which delivers better torque transfer and reduces the risk of rounding fastener corners compared to 12-point designs. All sockets are finished in chrome and constructed from steel. The set ships in a blow-molded case that keeps each piece organized and protected on the job. Licensed HVAC techs, plumbers, mechanics, and general trade professionals will find this set suited for both service and installation work across a broad range of fastener sizes.

This socket set is appropriate for residential and light commercial service environments where metric fasteners are the standard. The 1/2 inch drive size handles medium to heavy-duty applications, including mechanical equipment fasteners, structural hardware, and equipment mounting hardware. The included ratchet and two extensions allow access to fasteners in confined or recessed locations without requiring additional tools from another set.

Installation Notes

This set is intended for use by trade professionals familiar with hand tool safety practices. Always confirm the correct socket size before applying torque to avoid fastener damage.
