Gearwrench 84544N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 36mm 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84544N is a 1/2 inch drive, 36mm, 6-point impact socket built for professional-grade fastener work. Manufactured from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers the toughness required for high-torque impact tool applications. The standard-length design measures 1.909 inches overall and weighs 1.15 pounds. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow for fast socket identification in the field, while secondary hard-stamped markings provide a backup reference when the laser etch wears. Licensed tradespeople and serious mechanics rely on this socket for demanding drive applications.

This socket is suited for use in automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance applications where a 36mm hex fastener is common. The 1/2 inch square drive mates directly with standard 1/2 inch impact wrenches, breaker bars, and ratchets. Its standard-length profile fits typical under-hood, chassis, and equipment-panel access points without requiring an extension in most setups. The 6-point contact geometry is preferred for impact use because it concentrates force on the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction handles high-torque impact use
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• Off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding under load
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for quick size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings as a durable backup
• Meets ASME B107.33M standards for impact socket performance
• Lifetime warranty coverage

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars in applications requiring a 36mm 6-point metric impact socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket using a qualified mechanic or technician following standard torque tool practices. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on both the drive tool and the fastener before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove it from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets with hand-ratchet extensions not rated for impact loads.
