Gearwrench 84145 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 10mm 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84145 is a 10mm, 6-point impact socket with a 1/4 inch square drive, built for use with impact wrenches and drivers in professional trade and mechanical service environments. Constructed from chromium-molybdenum steel and finished with manganese phosphate, it is engineered to handle the high-torque, high-cycle demands of impact tooling. The socket measures 1.968 inches overall length and weighs 0.09 pounds. High-visibility laser-etched markings allow fast size identification, and secondary hard-stamped size markings serve as a backup when surface wear occurs. Licensed tradespeople, mechanics, and service technicians install and use this socket for fastener removal and installation in tight-clearance applications.

This socket is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where a compact 1/4 inch drive impact socket is required. The 10mm metric sizing covers a wide range of common fasteners found in residential and light commercial equipment, including panel hardware, motor mounts, and bracket fasteners. The 6-point drive geometry reduces contact stress on fastener flats, making it appropriate for both production and field service use.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction rated for impact tool use
• Manganese phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• 6-point off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for quick size identification in the field
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings for durability over extended service life
• Meets ASME B107.33M standards for impact socket performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service impact socket for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and drivers requiring a 10mm metric 6-point socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket by a qualified mechanic or trade technician. Ensure the impact wrench or driver is powered down and the tool trigger is locked before changing sockets. Do not use impact sockets with standard ratchet handles under sustained torque beyond hand-tool ratings. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if wear is evident.
