Gearwrench 80771 1/2 in Drive 1-1/8 in 12-point Hand Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80771 is a 12-point SAE hand socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. The socket measures 1-1/8 inches across and has an overall length of 1.654 inches, placing it in the standard length category. It is constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish that resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward. The 12-point design allows engagement at 30-degree intervals, which is useful in tight spaces where swing arc is limited. This socket is tether capable, making it suitable for use in elevated or overhead work environments where drop hazards are a concern.

The GEARWRENCH 80771 is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work where a 1/2 inch drive SAE socket is needed. The 1-1/8 inch size commonly appears in drivetrain, suspension, and large fastener applications. It is appropriate for professional shop use and field service work by mechanics, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters who carry a standard 1/2 inch drive set. The chrome finish and alloy steel construction hold up under regular professional use.
