Gearwrench 84305N Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 5/8 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84305N is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastener work in professional trade environments. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, this socket accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits 5/8 inch SAE hex fasteners. The overall length is 1.181 inches, making it a standard-length socket suited for tight-clearance applications. High-visibility laser-etched markings allow quick size identification without removing the socket from the drive, and secondary hard-stamped size markings provide a permanent backup. The off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under impact load. Meets ASME B107.2 standards. Installed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who use impact tools for mechanical fastening tasks.

This socket is used wherever a 3/8 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet is the tool of choice and a 5/8 inch SAE fastener is the target. Common applications include equipment assembly, mechanical room work, HVAC equipment installation, panel and bracket fastening, and general service work across residential and light commercial jobsites. The standard-length profile keeps it versatile for most open-access fastener locations. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, torque wrenches, and ratchets.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and torque wrenches requiring a 5/8 inch SAE 6-point socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Ensure the drive tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Do not use impact sockets on hand-ratchet-only drives rated below the torque output of your impact tool. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is found.
