Gearwrench 84314N Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 13mm 6-point

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84314N is a 13mm, 6-point impact socket designed for 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it handles the high-torque demands of impact tooling without cracking or galling. The standard-length design measures 1.102 inches overall, making it a practical fit for most automotive, HVAC equipment service, and general mechanical work. High-visibility laser-etched markings and secondary hard-stamped size markings allow for fast identification in busy shop or field environments. This socket meets ASME B107.33M standards. It is installed by automotive technicians, HVAC service techs, plumbers, and general mechanical trades.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive impact tool is used on metric fasteners. Common applications include equipment panel removal, motor mounting hardware, and mechanical assembly tasks requiring a 13mm hex drive point. The 6-point contact geometry and off-corner loading design reduce the risk of rounding fastener heads during high-torque impact use, which is especially important when breaking loose corroded or overtightened hardware in the field.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 6-point off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under impact torque
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings provide a backup when laser etch wears
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance in shop and field environments
• Meets ASME B107.33M standards
• Lifetime warranty

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-length metric impact socket for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, air tools, and torque wrenches requiring a 13mm, 6-point hex drive socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket only when the impact tool is fully powered down or the air supply is disconnected. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and do not use impact sockets on hand ratchets for tasks requiring controlled torque values. Always confirm drive size and socket size match the fastener before applying impact force to avoid fastener damage.
