Gearwrench 80720 Hex Bit Socket Set 1/2 in Drive 7 Pc

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80720 is a 7-piece metric hex bit socket set built for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Each socket features a chrome finish over steel construction and is sized to cover the most common metric hex fastener range found in mechanical and industrial work. The set spans 6 mm through 19 mm and ships on a rail for organized storage and quick identification on the job. It meets ASME standards, making it suitable for professional service environments where tool compliance matters. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics who regularly encounter internal hex fasteners will find this set covers the core sizes in a single pull.

This set is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications where metric hex-head fasteners are common. The 1/2 inch drive interface provides the torque capacity needed for larger fasteners without sacrificing control on smaller sizes. The seven individual sockets ship on a rail, keeping the set together in a toolbox or on a workbench. Typical use cases include drivetrain work, equipment assembly, and service calls where hex cap screws or socket head bolts are encountered in metric sizing.

Installation Notes

Hex bit sockets are installed and removed by hand onto 1/2 inch drive tools. Ensure the fastener head is clean and free of debris before seating the socket to prevent rounding. Do not use impact-rated extensions or adapters unless the sockets are rated for impact use. Always confirm the correct hex size before applying torque to avoid fastener damage.
