Gearwrench 84326N Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 9/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84326N 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, it accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits a 9/16 inch SAE hex fastener. The overall length is 2.48 inches, keeping it compact for tight access. Off-corner loading geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under impact load. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow fast socket identification during a job, and secondary hard-stamped markings provide a permanent backup. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics reach for this socket on air and cordless impact tools wherever a reliable, heavy-duty 9/16 inch SAE fit is required.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, including HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture installation, electrical panel mounting, and general mechanical maintenance. Any application requiring repeated high-torque fastener driving in a 9/16 inch SAE size is a standard use case. The compact 2.48 inch overall length allows use in moderately confined spaces where a longer socket would not clear. It is sold individually and is appropriate for service vans, shop benches, and field kits alike.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction handles sustained impact loads without fracturing
• 6-point drive geometry with off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance in typical shop and field conditions
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification during use
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings serve as a permanent backup identification
• Meets ASME B107.2 standards for dimensional and performance compliance

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extension bars. Fits 9/16 inch SAE hex fasteners in standard impact-service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified mechanics using 3/8 inch drive impact or hand tools. Always ensure the drive tool is rated for impact use before applying this socket to an impact wrench. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets with standard chrome hand-drive ratchets that are not rated for impact service.
