Gearwrench 82535 Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive 5/16 in Hex

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 82535 is a hand hex bit socket designed for driving 5/16-inch hex fasteners using a standard 3/8-inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Built from chrome-finished steel, it delivers a 6.14-inch overall length with a 5.39-inch bit length, giving technicians extended reach in recessed or tight applications. The chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use. This socket is suited for professional tradespeople who need a reliable, durable hex bit socket for mechanical, HVAC, electrical, or plumbing fastener work where hex-drive fasteners are common.

The GEARWRENCH 82535 is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work. It fits into a standard 3/8-inch drive tool set and is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical contractors when driving or removing hex-head fasteners on equipment panels, access covers, valves, and mechanical assemblies. The extended bit length makes it practical for fasteners that are recessed or difficult to reach with a standard-length socket.
