Gearwrench 84148 Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 13mm 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84148 is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel and finished with manganese phosphate, it is engineered to handle the high-torque demands of impact tool applications. The socket measures 1.968 inches in overall length and targets a 13mm fastener. High-visibility laser-etched markings provide quick size identification during fast-paced work, and secondary hard-stamped size markings serve as a backup when surface wear occurs. The off-corner loading design reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under load.

This socket is suited for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and general trade applications where a compact 1/4 inch drive impact socket is required. The 13mm metric size makes it a common choice for underhood fasteners, suspension components, and equipment assembly tasks. It is appropriate for use by automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and maintenance professionals who rely on impact drive tools for daily production work.

Key Features

• 6-point hex drive profile reduces fastener rounding under impact load
• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction handles high-torque impact use
• Manganese phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings remain readable after surface wear
• Meets ASME B107.33M standards for impact socket performance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch drive metric impact socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and hand ratchets that accept standard square drive accessories.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trades professional familiar with impact drive tooling. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets on a torque wrench without confirming the tool and socket are rated for the application. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
