Gearwrench 82517 Torx Bit Socket 3/8 Inch Drive T40

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 82517 is a hand Torx bit socket designed for T40 fasteners, built around a 3/8 inch square drive. The socket features a 4.922-inch bit length, giving technicians the reach needed for recessed or deep-set fasteners. Constructed from steel with a chrome finish, it is suited for automotive, HVAC, and mechanical service work where Torx drive fasteners are common. The chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward. This type of socket is typically used by service technicians who encounter T40 Torx fasteners in equipment panels, compressors, and mechanical assemblies.

This socket is used across automotive repair, HVAC service, and general mechanical maintenance. The T40 Torx profile is common in equipment covers, motor mounts, and compressor housings found in both residential and light commercial service environments. The 3/8 inch drive fits a wide range of standard ratchets and extensions, making it easy to integrate into an existing drive set. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or addition to an existing socket set.
