Gearwrench 84514N 1/2 in Drive 1-1/4 in Impact Socket 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84514N is a 1/2 inch drive, 1-1/4 inch SAE impact socket built for use with pneumatic, electric, and cordless impact wrenches in professional trade environments. Constructed from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, this 6-point standard-length socket measures 1.614 inches overall length and weighs 0.49 pounds. The off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under high-torque impact conditions. High-visibility laser-etched markings and secondary hard-stamped size markings allow fast size identification in the field. HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general mechanical contractors will find this socket suited to heavy-duty fastening and removal tasks across a range of applications.

This socket is designed for standard-depth SAE fastener applications requiring a 1/2 inch drive impact tool. It is appropriate for residential and commercial service work where 1-1/4 inch hex fasteners are encountered, including equipment installation, mechanical assembly, and maintenance work. The 6-point design maximizes contact on the fastener flats, which is particularly useful when breaking loose corroded or over-torqued hardware. The standard length profile fits into most impact wrench heads without requiring an extension in typical service scenarios.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 6-point design maximizes contact on fastener flats and reduces rounding
• Off-corner loading geometry helps prevent fastener damage under high torque
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings serve as a backup when etching wears
• Meets ASME B107.2 standards for impact sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive SAE impact socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive pneumatic, electric, and cordless impact wrenches that accept standard square-drive sockets.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto a 1/2 inch square drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found. Never use impact sockets on hand-ratchet tools beyond their rated torque, and never use standard chrome hand-tool sockets on impact drivers. No special tools or codes are required for socket use, but always ensure the retaining pin or ring is fully engaged before applying torque.
