Gearwrench 84325N Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 1/2 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84325N is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in professional trades. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits a 1/2 inch hex fastener. The overall length is 2.48 inches, making it a compact fit in tight spaces. High-visibility laser-etched size markings and secondary hard-stamped markings allow fast identification on the job. The off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under impact load. This socket meets ASME B107.2 standards and carries a limited lifetime warranty. It is intended for use by automotive technicians, HVAC installers, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical trades working with impact wrenches or ratchets.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work where 1/2 inch SAE hex fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include equipment installation, mechanical assembly, and maintenance tasks across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. The 3/8 inch drive size is a common choice for mid-torque impact work, fitting a wide range of cordless and pneumatic impact tools used on the job site or in the shop. The SAE sizing makes it appropriate for standard inch-measurement fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of this socket should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with impact tool operation. Ensure the drive tool is powered off or depressurized before changing sockets. Verify the socket seats fully on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet torque tools beyond their rated capacity.
