Gearwrench 84503N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 9/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84503N is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in professional trade environments. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it accepts a 1/2 inch square drive and fits 9/16 inch hex fasteners. The overall length is 1.496 inches, placing it in the standard-length category. Off-corner loading geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under impact load. High-visibility laser-etched size markings and secondary hard-stamped markings ensure fast socket identification on busy job sites. This socket is intended for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working on equipment assemblies.

This socket fits standard SAE fastener applications where a 9/16 inch hex drive is required. Typical use cases include equipment panel fasteners, motor mounts, flange bolts, conduit fittings, and structural hardware in both residential and light commercial work. The standard-length profile suits most open-access fastener locations. It is not insulated and is not rated for non-sparking environments, so it should not be used in classified hazardous locations where those properties are required.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction rated for impact tool use
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• 6-point drive geometry maximizes contact on hex fasteners and reduces rounding
• Off-corner loading design distributes torque away from fastener edges
• Laser-etched and hard-stamped size markings for fast field identification
• Meets ASME B107.2 standards for hand socket tools

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and hand ratchets requiring a standard-length 9/16 inch 6-point SAE impact socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket with power off and equipment de-energized or depressurized as required by the application. Verify drive retention with the impact wrench retaining pin or ring before applying torque. This socket is not insulated — do not use directly on energized electrical components. Inspect for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.
