Gearwrench 84505N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 11/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84505N is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in professional shop and field environments. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, this 11/16 inch SAE socket accepts a 1/2 inch square drive and measures 1.496 inches overall length. The 6-point geometry distributes torque evenly across fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under heavy impact loads. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow fast identification in low-light conditions, while secondary hard-stamped markings provide a permanent backup. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters will find this socket suited to daily production use with impact wrenches and breaker bars alike.

This socket is intended for standard-length applications on SAE hex fasteners where a 1/2 inch drive impact tool is the preferred drive platform. Its compact 1.496 inch overall length makes it practical in moderately confined spaces without sacrificing wall thickness. The black oxide surface treatment provides mild corrosion resistance in shop environments. It ships as a single unit and is a direct addition to any 1/2 inch drive SAE impact socket set.

Installation Notes

Always power down or disconnect the impact tool before changing sockets. Confirm the drive retainer or hog ring is fully seated before applying torque. This socket is not rated for use with hand-ratchet extensions in applications where impact load will be applied through the extension. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
