1/4"DR 12PT BIT SKT 5MM - GearWrench

The GearWrench 80168 1/4" Drive 5mm 12-Point Triple Square Bit Socket is engineered for professional technicians requiring precise engagement with specialized fasteners. This robust bit socket combines a compact 1/4" drive with a durable 5mm triple square (XZN) bit, making it an essential tool for automotive and industrial applications where accuracy and access are paramount.

Key Features

• Triple Square (XZN) Design: Specifically engineered for secure engagement with 12-point triple square fasteners, commonly found in European vehicles and specialized machinery, ensuring a precise fit and reducing the risk of rounding.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Features a heat-treated socket base for enhanced strength and longevity, designed to withstand the demands of rigorous professional use.
• Optimal Access: The 1/4" drive size allows for superior maneuverability in tight or confined spaces, where larger drive tools cannot reach, providing access to challenging fasteners.
• Corrosion Resistance: Finished with a professional, full polish chrome that not only offers a clean appearance but also provides excellent resistance to corrosion and is easy to wipe clean.
• Reduced Fastener Rounding: Incorporates an off-corner loading design that applies force to the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, thereby reducing the chance of rounding off nuts and bolts.
• Meets Industry Standards: Manufactured to meet or exceed ASME B107.5M specifications, ensuring reliability and consistent performance.

Applications

This specialized 5mm triple square bit socket is ideal for various professional tasks. It is frequently used in automotive repair, particularly for German and European vehicles, addressing components such as transmissions, suspension systems, and drivetrain assemblies that utilize XZN fasteners. Its compact 1/4" drive and precise 5mm size also make it suitable for intricate work in engine compartments, dashboards, and electronics, as well as general maintenance on industrial machinery where low-torque precision is required.
