Gearwrench 84142 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 7mm 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84142 is a 7mm, 6-point hex drive impact socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel and finished in manganese phosphate, this socket is engineered for high-torque impact applications where durability and fastener protection both matter. The 6-point off-corner loading design reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under load. High-visibility laser-etched markings, backed by secondary hard-stamped size markings, make quick size identification easy in field conditions. Overall length is 1.968 inches. This socket meets ASME B107.33M standards and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

The GEARWRENCH 84142 is intended for metric fastener work in automotive, mechanical, and light industrial service environments. Its compact 1/4 inch drive sizing makes it well-suited for tight-access areas where larger drive sockets will not fit. Typical applications include engine bay work, appliance service, HVAC equipment fastening, and electrical panel assembly where 7mm metric fasteners are common. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general service technicians are the primary installers.

Key Features

• 6-point off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• High-visibility laser-etched markings with secondary hard-stamped backup for size identification
• Meets ASME B107.33M standards for impact socket performance
• Limited lifetime warranty

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and hand ratchets. Sized for 7mm metric fasteners. Compatible with any 1/4 inch square drive tool conforming to standard drive dimensions.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using standard 1/4 inch drive impact tools or hand ratchets. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. De-energize or power down any equipment before working on fasteners in electrical or mechanical systems. This socket is not rated as insulated and should not be used as a substitute for insulated tooling in live-circuit work.
