Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this standard-length socket measures 7\/8 inch in overall length and accepts a 1\/4 inch drive. The 8-point configuration is specifically suited for 12-point and square-head fasteners where controlled engagement is required. This socket meets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional trades work. It is not tether capable, making it appropriate for standard service environments where tool-tethering requirements are not in effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is used across a wide range of trade service scenarios including HVAC equipment servicing, electrical panel and fixture work, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical assembly. The 1\/4 inch drive size targets confined-space and low-torque fastener applications where a smaller drive profile is necessary. Standard length suits the majority of open-access fastener situations without extended reach requirements. It is a single-piece, per-package item suited for individual addition to a professional socket set or service kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch socket size with 8-point configuration for square and double-square fastener engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch drive size for low-torque and confined-space applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 7\/8 inch overall for general-access fastener work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional and performance standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged as a single unit for individual tool inventory management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and service socket compatible with standard 1\/4 inch drive hand ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting square-drive tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is installed and used by licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and mechanical service professionals.
