Gearwrench 86538 Torx Bit Socket Set 80 Pc 1/4 3/8 1/2 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 86538 is an 80-piece bit socket set covering Torx, tamper-proof Torx, external Torx, SAE hex, metric hex, and ball end hex drive applications. It includes three drive sizes -- 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch -- making it a versatile single-case solution for automotive, HVAC, and general mechanical service work. Torx range runs from T8 to T60, SAE hex from 1/8 inch to 9/16 inch, and metric hex from 2.5 mm to 17 mm. Sockets carry either a full-polished chrome or black oxide finish depending on type. Licensed technicians and experienced mechanics who need standardized bit socket coverage across multiple drive sizes will find this set well suited for daily shop or field use.

This set is intended for professional trade use where a wide range of fastener types must be addressed from a single organized kit. Applicable settings include automotive repair bays, HVAC equipment service, commercial refrigeration maintenance, and industrial equipment work. The blow-molded case keeps all 80 pieces indexed and accessible. The set covers Torx fasteners common in modern HVAC equipment panels and motor assemblies, tamper-proof Torx found on access-restricted components, and hex bit sockets used across plumbing and electrical fixture work.
