Description
 What's Included Specifications Physical Characteristics Warranty

The GearWrench 80550 57 Pc. 3/8" Drive 6 Point SAE/Metric Standard and Deep Mechanics Tool Set is built for the professional shop, trade van, or serious home garage. This versatile set features 52 sockets (SAE and metric, standard and deep), two 3/8" drive full-polish ratchets (one standard, one stubby for tight spots), two drive extensions, and a universal joint. Each socket uses a 6-point design for maximum torque and secure fit on fasteners, while the ratchets have a fine-tooth mechanism for smooth, low-arc swing.

The sockets are laser-etched and hard-stamped for visibility, and the blow-molded case keeps every tool right where you expect. Chrome vanadium construction ensures strength and long tool life, with a chrome-plated finish to resist rust and corrosion. GearWrench backs the set with a full lifetime warranty. Meets or exceeds all current ASME professional standards.

Tips, Tricks, Guidance, and More

Should I get metric or SAE? Do I really need both?

If you’re working on anything made in the last 30 years, especially cars, motorcycles, and power tools, you’ll need metric. SAE is still common on older American vehicles, lawn equipment, and some plumbing.

“Close enough” isn’t good enough. Using the wrong size can round off fasteners. If you work on a mix of vehicles and equipment, having both saves time and headaches.

How do I keep my tool set organized and avoid losing sockets. Especially the 10mm?
  • Always return sockets to their tray or rail after use
  • Use labeled organizers or magnetic trays, especially for smaller sizes
  • Clean and dry tools before putting them away to prevent rust
  • If you’re working on a project, keep a small parts tray nearby for fasteners and sockets

For the 10mm sockets, honestly just consider it a donation to the socket gods.

What’s the difference between chrome and impact sockets? Can I use them interchangeably?

Chrome sockets are made for hand tools. They’re strong, shiny, and resist corrosion, but they’re brittle compared to impact sockets. Use them with ratchets or breaker bars, never with an impact gun.

Impact sockets are made from tougher steel and have a black oxide finish. They’re built to handle the pounding from impact wrenches without shattering. They’re thicker walled, so they absorb shock and reduce the risk of splitting.

Never use a chrome socket on an impact gun. It can crack or shatter, sending metal flying. You can use impact sockets with hand tools, they’re just bulkier, but not the other way around.

When do I need deep sockets instead of standard sockets?

Standard (shallow) sockets are great for most nuts and bolts. Deep sockets are made for jobs where the bolt or stud sticks out past the nut, like shock mounts, exhaust hangers, or spark plugs. Deep sockets can reach over long threads where a standard socket bottoms out.

What’s the difference between 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive tools?

1/4" drive: Small, lightweight, and perfect for tight spaces and small fasteners: think interior panels, electronics, or lawn equipment.

3/8" drive: The all-purpose workhorse. Handles most automotive and household fasteners. If you’re starting out, this is the size you’ll use most.

1/2" drive: Built for big jobs: suspension, lug nuts, axle bolts, or anything that needs real torque. Heavier, but handles the tough stuff.

It's common to build sets around 3/8" and add 1/4" for precision or 1/2" for muscle as needed.

What’s the difference between 6-point and 12-point sockets? Which should I use?

6-point sockets grip the flat sides of a bolt or nut, not the corners. That means less chance of rounding off stubborn, rusted, or high-torque fasteners. If you’re breaking loose suspension bolts or engine hardware, 6-point is the safe bet for max grip and strength.

12-point sockets fit both hex and double-hex fasteners. They’re easier to position in tight spots since they engage every 30° instead of every 60°.

For most jobs, 6-point is stronger and more slip-resistant, but 12-point can save time in cramped spaces or for lighter-duty, clean fasteners.
