GearWrench 10mm hand socket built on the 1/4" drive platform for low-torque precision work. The Surface Drive contact pattern grips on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, transferring torque without rounding the head. Chrome vanadium steel with full-polish chrome finish, conforms to ASME B107.5M.

• Drive: 1/4" square - accepts standard 1/4" ratchets, breaker bars and extensions
• Size: 10mm metric, 6-point hex opening
• Surface Drive geometry: contact on the fastener flats, not the corners
• Material: chrome vanadium steel, full-polish chrome finish
• Hard-stamped size markings for fast bin identification
• ASME B107.5M compliant
• Manufacturer Part No: 80132

Fastener Match: The 10mm socket fits M6 hex-head fasteners on motorcycle accessories, small engine valve covers, light automotive interior and bicycle component bolts - the dominant small-fastener size in modern vehicles.

Drive Selection: The 1/4" drive is sized for low-torque work in the roughly 5-22 ft-lb continuous range - electronics, small engine carb hardware, interior trim and bicycle/motorcycle accessories. For fasteners that need more than about 22 ft-lb of working torque (chassis bolts, suspension hardware, lug nuts), step up to the matching 3/8" or 1/2" drive socket in this same metric size range.

Tip: These chrome hand sockets are not rated for impact wrenches - use the black-oxide impact socket line for any pneumatic or electric impact tool. Chrome sockets can shatter under impact pulses.
