GEARWRENCH 86538 80-Piece 1/4-Inch, 3/8-Inch, and 1/2-Inch Drive Hex & Torx Bit Socket Set

The GEARWRENCH 86538 80-Piece Hex & Torx Bit Socket Set is a manual drive tool collection engineered for servicing internal hex, ball end hex, standard Torx, tamper-proof Torx, and external E-Torx fasteners across automotive chassis maintenance, industrial machinery repair, and engine bay service. Utilizing precision-machined S2 tool steel bits mounted in heat-treated alloy steel socket bases with a full polish chrome finish, this set spans drive tang sizes of 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, and 1/2-inch to handle fastener sizes up to 5/8 in. SAE hex, 17 mm metric hex, T60 Torx, and E24 E-Torx. Outfitted with hard-stamped size markings, color-coded identification rings, and a blow-molded carrying case, this 9-237/1000 pound set meets or exceeds ASME quality standards for manual hand tool use.

Best Used For:

  • Automotive Engine Bay & Transmission Service: Accessing recessed internal hex, Torx, and E-Torx fasteners on intake manifolds, bellhousings, and valve covers.
  • Obstructed Angle Fastener Turning: Rotating hard-to-reach hex cap screws at off-axis entry angles using ball end hex bit sockets.
  • Commercial Safety Hardware & Sensor Maintenance: Servicing tamper-proof Torx fasteners on vehicle interior panels, sensor brackets, and industrial machinery enclosures.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Industrial-Grade S2 Tool Steel Bits: Precision-formed insert bits provide exceptional strength and dimensional tolerances to prevent bit twisting and fastener cam-out.
  • Triple Drive Tang Compatibility: Features 1/4 in., 3/8 in., and 1/2 in. drive square sockets to match standard hand ratchets and breaker bars.
  • Ball End Hex Socket Profile: Allows up to 25-degree angled bit insertion to turn obstructed hex fasteners in tight mechanical clearance areas.
  • Comprehensive Fastener Drive Coverage: Includes standard Hex (SAE/Metric), Ball End Hex, standard Torx, Tamper-Proof Torx, and External E-Torx socket profiles.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Dual Surface Finish: Full-polish chrome socket bases wipe clean easily, while black oxide E-Torx bases resist harsh shop chemicals.
  • Hard-Stamped Markings & Color-Coded Rings: Roll-stamped size text and distinct identification rings allow instant separation between SAE, Metric, and Torx tools.

What's Included

  • (80) 1/4 In., 3/8 In., and 1/2 In. Drive Bit Sockets (Standard Hex SAE/Metric, Ball End Hex SAE/Metric, Standard Torx, Tamper-Proof Torx, and E-Torx)
