Gearwrench 84303N Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 1/2 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84303N is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastener work in professional trade and industrial settings. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits a 1/2 inch fastener. The overall length is 1.102 inches, placing it in the standard-length category. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow fast identification in the field, and secondary hard-stamped markings provide a backup reference when the primary finish wears. The off-corner loading geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact loads, which extends fastener life on repeat-service equipment. This socket meets ASME B107.2 dimensional standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

The 84303N is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical work where a 3/8 inch drive impact tool is the preferred platform. Typical applications include HVAC equipment assembly and service, plumbing fixture installation, and general equipment maintenance where SAE 1/2 inch hex fasteners are encountered. The standard length profile fits in tight clearances that deep sockets cannot reach. Technicians running cordless or pneumatic 3/8 inch impact drivers will find this socket a direct drop-in to existing drive sets.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction for impact-rated strength and durability
• Black oxide finish reduces glare and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 6-point geometry for maximum contact area on hex fasteners
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• High-visibility laser-etched markings plus secondary hard-stamped size identification
• Meets ASME B107.2 dimensional standards
• Lifetime warranty

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets requiring a 1/2 inch SAE hex socket in standard length.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for installation by licensed or qualified trade technicians using 3/8 inch drive impact or hand-ratchet tools. Always confirm the fastener size before applying torque to avoid rounding. Do not use impact sockets on hand-only ratchets rated below the drive torque output of the tool in use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove it from service if damage is found.
