Built from chrome-finished steel, it delivers a 4.69 inch overall length with a 3.58 inch bit length, giving technicians the reach needed in recessed or tight fastener locations. The 8 mm hex drive size covers a common range of metric fasteners found throughout automotive assemblies, machinery, and equipment. This socket is used by mechanics, millwrights, and service technicians who require a reliable, single-piece hex bit socket that pairs directly with a 1\/2 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket fits standard 1\/2 inch drive tooling setups and is suited for both hand-tool service work and controlled-torque applications using a 1\/2 inch drive torque wrench. The 8 mm hex size is commonly encountered in European and Asian vehicle platforms as well as industrial fastener applications. Its chrome finish provides corrosion resistance for shop and field use. The socket meets ANSI and ASME standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and load-bearing reliability for professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive hex bit socket with 8 mm hex drive size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.69 inch overall length with 3.58 inch bit length for extended reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-finished steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI and ASME standards for dimensional and performance compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece design compatible with standard 1\/2 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement hex bit socket for use with any standard 1\/2 inch square drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench requiring an 8 mm hex bit drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by mechanics and service technicians using standard 1\/2 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench equipment. Ensure the fastener hex recess is clean and free of debris before seating the bit to prevent rounding. When using with a torque wrench, verify the socket is fully seated and the drive connection is secure before applying load. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and applicable ASME or ANSI guidelines for fastener service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.69 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.58 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.3 x 1.8 x 0.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI, ASME\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111704\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GEARWRENCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 82580\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GEARWRENCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542100934962,"sku":"82580","price":20.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4434bd5cd0efe0bd97d76df817ee0af5.jpg?v=1785892034","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gearwrench-82580-hex-bit-socket-1-2-in-drive-8-mm","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
