The GEARWRENCH 80550 3/8-Inch drive 6-point socket set is a must - have for mechanics. With 57 pieces, it comes with two ratchets: one has a low - profile head and a flush - mounted reversing lever for better access, and the other is a stubby full - polish teardrop ratchet for added flexibility. The sockets are made of full - polish, nickel - chrome - plated alloy steel and are backed by a lifetime warranty. Each socket has large hard - stamped part numbers and sizes on both sides for easy size viewing, and features double lines for SAE and knurled lines for metric, making it a breeze to distinguish between SAE and Metric. The set includes 1/4 - In. to 1 - In. standard sockets, 1/4 - In. to 7/8 - In. deep sockets, 6mm - to 19mm standard and deep sockets, 3/8 - In. drive full - polish teardrop and stubby ratchets, 3 - In. and 6 - In. extensions, and universal joints, all neatly packed in a blow - mold case. This set offers a patented, low - profile ratchet with extra leverage and can move fasteners with just a 4.3° turn. The off - corner loading socket design provides a better grip and reduces fastener rounding. It meets or exceeds ASME standards, and the thin - head ratchet can access hard - to - reach areas. The bright, full - polish chrome finish makes cleaning a snap. Ideal for automotive, industrial, repair, operations, and maintenance work.
Using this GearWrench 80550 tool set is straightforward. First, pick the right socket for your fastener. Make sure to check the size markings on the sockets, which are large and easy to read. For better access in tight spaces, use the low - profile ratchet or the stubby teardrop ratchet. If you need to reach a far - off fastener, attach the extensions or the universal joint. When using the ratchet, turn it slowly and steadily to avoid stripping the fastener. Always store the set in the blow - mold case after use to keep the tools organized and protected. To maintain the tools, wipe them down with a clean cloth after each use to remove oil and dirt. The full - polish chrome finish makes this a simple task. Periodically, check the sockets and ratchets for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer as the set comes with a lifetime warranty.
