Gearwrench 82525 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 7/32 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 82525 is a hand hex bit socket designed for driving hex fasteners with a 3/8 inch square drive. It accepts a 7/32 inch hex bit and delivers an overall length of 2.8 inches, with a bit length of 2.05 inches. Constructed from steel with a chrome finish, this socket is built for repeated use in professional hand-tool applications. It meets ANSI and ASME standards, making it appropriate for trade and industrial environments where fastener tolerances matter. Licensed technicians and tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service will find this socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions.

This hex bit socket is suited for residential and light commercial service work where 7/32 inch hex fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include equipment panels, appliance hardware, and mechanical assemblies that use internal hex drive fasteners. The 3/8 inch drive size is a common choice for mid-torque fastening tasks and is compatible with the standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches found in most trade toolkits. Its compact overall length allows use in moderately confined spaces.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque to prevent rounding of the fastener or socket. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if the hex geometry shows signs of deformation. No special tools or trade certifications are required for use, though proper torque specifications for the fastener being driven should always be followed per the equipment manufacturer's service documentation.
