Gearwrench 84550N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 5/8 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84550N is a 6-point hex drive impact socket built for high-torque fastening applications in the trades. Sized at 5/8 inches with a 1/2 inch drive, it is manufactured from chromium-molybdenum steel and finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. The off-corner loading design reduces the likelihood of rounding fastener heads during impact use, making it a practical choice for repetitive mechanical work. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow for fast identification in a crowded socket tray, and secondary hard-stamped markings serve as a backup when the surface finish wears. This socket meets ASME B107.2 standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

This socket is suited for automotive, fleet, and industrial mechanical work where a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench is the standard tool. The 5/8 inch SAE size covers a wide range of fastener applications including suspension components, engine hardware, and structural bolted connections. Licensed mechanics, fleet technicians, and industrial maintenance trades are the primary users. The socket is sold individually and is designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive pneumatic, electric, or cordless impact wrenches.

Installation Notes

Install and remove with a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. This socket is not insulated and is not rated for non-sparking environments.
