Gearwrench 84562N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-3/8 in

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84562N is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener driving in professional trade and mechanical service environments. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits a 1-3/8 inch hex fastener. The 6-point design concentrates force on the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact loads. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow quick identification in a crowded tool tray, and secondary hard-stamped markings serve as a permanent backup. This socket meets ASME B107.2 standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

This socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where an impact wrench or breaker bar with a 1/2 inch drive is in use. The 1-3/8 inch SAE size is common on structural fasteners, large pipe fittings, flanges, and suspension components. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by mechanics, pipefitters, and service technicians who require a reliable impact-rated socket at this size.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction rated for impact driver loads
• 6-point design applies force to fastener flats, reducing corner rounding
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance in shop and field conditions
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings for permanent readability
• Meets ASME B107.2 standards with a lifetime warranty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with any 1/2 inch drive impact wrench, breaker bar, or ratchet requiring a 1-3/8 inch SAE 6-point hex socket.

Installation Notes

Always verify the drive tool is rated for impact use before attaching this socket to a pneumatic or cordless impact wrench. Disconnect or de-energize the drive tool before changing sockets. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet torque wrenches, as impact loads can damage torque wrench internals. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying drive torque.
