Gearwrench 80797 Deep Hand Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-1/8 in 12-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 80797 is a deep hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. It features a 1-1/8 inch socket size with a 12-point configuration, giving technicians multiple engagement angles on hex fasteners. The socket is machined from alloy steel and finished with a chrome plating that resists corrosion and cleans easily in shop environments. At 3.031 inches in overall length, the deep profile provides clearance for reaching recessed or extended fasteners that a standard-depth socket cannot access. This tool is built to ANSI and ASME B107.1 standards and is tether capable for overhead or elevated work applications.

This deep socket is suited for automotive, fleet, and industrial maintenance tasks where 1-1/8 inch fasteners are common. Typical applications include suspension work, wheel hub assemblies, large bolt removal on heavy equipment, and mechanical assembly lines. The 12-point design engages worn or tight fasteners from multiple positions, reducing slippage risk. It is appropriate for use by automotive technicians, heavy equipment mechanics, and maintenance professionals working in both shop and field settings.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool is properly seated in the socket before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, particularly in high-torque applications. When working in elevated or overhead positions, use an appropriate tether attachment to secure the socket and prevent drops. This tool is not insulated and should not be used on or near energized electrical components.
