GEARWRENCH - ACH 80202 1/4 Drive 12pt Socket 8mm

GEARWRENCH - ACH 80202 is a 1/4 drive, 12-point 8mm socket engineered for precise fastener engagement in tight spaces. Its compact profile and 12pt geometry make it well suited for use with 1/4 drive ratchets and extensions where access and delicate torque control are required. The tool is intended for general automotive service and repair tasks where reliability and repeatable fit are important.

Panel Stand Compatibility

This 8mm socket is commonly used on small fasteners found on door panels, trim clips and light brackets—components often worked on while a vehicle is positioned on a panel stand or similar support. The 1/4 drive size keeps the assembly lightweight and maneuverable when technicians position panels or adjust parts on stands used during painting or body work.

Automotive Work Stand Use

In an automotive work stand environment the 80202 socket provides consistent engagement for low-torque applications. Its 12-point design allows quick alignment on hex fasteners, reducing time spent repositioning a ratchet in confined areas. The compact footprint helps when reaching fasteners close to chassis rails, hinge assemblies or interior trim panels while a vehicle is secured on a work stand.

Professional Auto Body Stand And Heavy Duty Repair Stand Considerations

For professional auto body stand workflows and heavier repair stand tasks, this socket functions as a precision hand tool within a broader kit. It pairs well with 1/4 drive torque tools and extensions used to set or remove small fasteners during panel fitting, paint preparation and reassembly. While the socket itself is focused on small-diameter fasteners, its predictable fit contributes to efficient, repeatable results in both shop and mobile repair settings.

GEARWRENCH - ACH 80202 is an essential compact socket for technicians who need a reliable 8mm tool for automotive, panel and paint stand work. Fast shipping.
