Gearwrench 84506N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 3/4 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84506N is a 3/4 inch, 6-point impact socket built for 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Manufactured from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers the toughness required for high-torque fastener work in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications. The overall length is 1.614 inches, making it a standard-length socket suited for everyday fastener access. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow quick identification in the field, and secondary hard-stamped markings back them up if the laser etching wears. This socket meets ASME B107.2 standards and carries a lifetime warranty from GEARWRENCH.

This socket is intended for SAE fastener applications requiring a 3/4 inch hex drive. It fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact tools including pneumatic impact wrenches, cordless impact drivers rated for 1/2 inch square drive, and 1/2 inch drive ratchets. The 6-point design with off-corner loading geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under high torque, making it well suited for removing stubborn or corroded hardware in mechanical systems, equipment installations, and structural assemblies.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction for impact-rated strength and durability
• 6-point off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings provide a backup identification method
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B107.2 standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars requiring a standard SAE 3/4 inch 6-point impact socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians working with 1/2 inch drive impact tools. Always verify the fastener size before applying torque to avoid socket or fastener damage. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and fastener before operating an impact tool. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact ratchets or torque wrenches beyond their rated capacity.
