Gearwrench 84561N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-5/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84561N is a 6-point hex drive impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastening and removal applications. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, this 1/2 inch drive socket accepts 1-5/16 inch SAE fasteners and is engineered to handle the high-torque output of pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. High-visibility laser-etched markings and secondary hard-stamped size markings allow fast size identification under shop or field conditions. The off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding, extending both socket and fastener service life. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics rely on this socket for structural bolting, automotive, and mechanical assembly work where torque demands exceed hand-tool ratings.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, automotive service, fleet maintenance, and industrial assembly. The 1/2 inch drive size is the standard choice for mid- to high-torque impact applications, including suspension work, HVAC equipment mounting hardware, and general mechanical fastening. The 1-5/16 inch SAE size covers a broad range of common structural and equipment fasteners encountered in the field. The socket meets ASME B107.2 standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 6-point hex drive geometry maximizes contact area on fastener flats
• 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 permanent backup reference
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance in shop and field environments
• Meets ASME B107.2 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch drive SAE impact socket compatible with 1/2 inch drive pneumatic, electric, and cordless impact wrenches requiring a 1-5/16 inch 6-point hex socket.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson familiar with impact tooling. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the impact wrench anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with hand-ratchet tools not rated for impact duty, and do not use hand-tool chrome sockets with impact wrenches. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.
