Gearwrench 84511N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-1/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84511N is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. It accepts a 1-1/16 inch SAE hex fastener and delivers the torque transfer and wall thickness required for pneumatic and cordless impact tools. The socket is manufactured from chromium-molybdenum steel and finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. Overall length is 1.614 inches, keeping it compact for tight-access fastener work. An off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high torque, and high-visibility laser-etched markings combined with secondary hard-stamped size markings allow fast size identification in the field.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, automotive service, heavy equipment maintenance, and general trade applications where 1/2 inch drive impact tooling is standard. It is a standard-length socket appropriate for surface and lug-nut fasteners that do not require deep-reach clearance. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople who use impact wrenches for equipment mounting, panel work, or structural fastening will find this socket fits their standard 1/2 inch drive sets without an adapter.

Key Features

• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under impact torque
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings provide a backup when laser etching wears
• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction handles repeated impact cycles
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASME B107.2 standards for impact socket performance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard SAE impact socket compatible with 1/2 inch square drive impact wrenches, torque wrenches, and ratchets requiring a 1-1/16 inch 6-point hex drive socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by mechanics, service technicians, and trade professionals operating 1/2 inch drive impact tools. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet sets beyond their rated capacity, and do not use hand-tool chrome sockets with impact drivers. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use.
