Gearwrench 84132 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 3/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84132 is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact tools. It accepts 3/8 inch SAE hex fasteners and is built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a manganese phosphate finish for corrosion resistance and durability under high-torque conditions. At 1.968 inches overall length, it fits into tighter spaces than standard-length sockets. High-visibility laser-etched markings and secondary hard-stamped size markings make size identification fast in low-light shop environments. Licensed mechanics, automotive technicians, and general trade professionals use this socket for production and service work alike.

This socket is suited for light-duty impact applications in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades where 1/4 inch drive tooling is standard. Its compact overall length makes it practical in confined fastener locations. The SAE sizing covers common 3/8 inch fastener heads found throughout residential and commercial equipment. It meets ASME B107.2 standards, making it appropriate for professional shop and field use.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4 inch drive impact tool or ratchet. Ensure the drive tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets with hand-drive torque wrenches unless rated for that application.
