Gearwrench 84504N 1/2 in Drive 5/8 in 6-point Impact Socket

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84504N is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal applications. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits 5/8 inch SAE hex fasteners. The standard-length body measures 1.496 inches overall, making it suitable for most underhood, mechanical, and structural work. High-visibility laser-etched markings allow fast size identification during service, and secondary hard-stamped size markings provide a permanent backup. This socket meets ASME B107.2 standards and carries a lifetime warranty. It is a hand-tool staple for licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working in the field or on the bench.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, equipment assembly, and service work where a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar is in use. The off-corner loading design reduces the risk of rounding fastener flats, which makes it a reliable choice when working with corroded or high-torque fasteners. Its SAE sizing covers a wide range of domestic equipment and structural fastener applications encountered in trade service work.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction handles high-torque impact use
• 6-point design with off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification in the field
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings provide a permanent, wear-resistant reference
• Black oxide finish resists corrosion and reduces glare
• Meets ASME B107.2 standards with a lifetime warranty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use impact socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, breaker bars, and ratchets used in trade and mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of this socket should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with impact tooling. Always ensure the drive tool is powered down or depressurized before changing sockets. Verify the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque to prevent slippage or ejection under load. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is found.
