1/4\\DR 12PT BIT SKT 6MM\" - GearWrench

Part #: 80169

The search results confirm GearWrench's reputation for producing high-quality, durable tools for professionals and DIY users. Specifically, the 80169 model is described as a "1/4" drive Triple square 6mm screwdriver bit socket", and some listings mention "Heat Treated Socket Bases for Durability and Serviceability" and "Professional, Full Polish Chrome" finishes. While the original product name was "1/4"DR 12PT BIT SKT 6MM"", several search results (e.g.,) consistently refer to the 80169 as a "Triple Square" bit socket. This is a critical distinction that needs to be corrected in the product description. The original description provided "12-Point Design" which is incorrect if the actual product is "Triple Square". I need to verify the correct drive type for model 80169.

Based on search results, the GearWrench 80169 is indeed a Triple Square bit socket, not a 12-point socket as stated in the original product information. This needs to be corrected in the new product description.
