Gearwrench 84563N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-7/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84563N is a 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in professional trade environments. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, this socket accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits 1-7/16 inch SAE hex fasteners. The off-corner loading design contacts the flat faces of fasteners rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under heavy impact loads. High-visibility laser-etched markings and secondary hard-stamped size markings allow quick identification during fast-paced service work. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians rely on this type of socket for equipment installations and removal tasks where standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact use.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial trade applications wherever 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches or rattle guns are used. Typical uses include tightening or removing large fasteners on mechanical equipment, pipe flanges, structural connections, conduit fittings, and equipment mounting hardware. The SAE sizing makes it directly applicable to standard inch-measurement fastener stock common across North American trade work. It is sold individually and is compliant with ASME B107.2 standards for impact sockets.

Key Features

• Chromium-molybdenum steel construction rated for impact driver and impact wrench use
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and reduces glare in tight work areas
• 6-point contact geometry with off-corner loading design minimizes fastener rounding
• High-visibility laser-etched markings for fast size identification
• Secondary hard-stamped size markings serve as a permanent backup if laser etching wears
• Meets ASME B107.2 standard for socket design and performance
• Lifetime warranty coverage from GEARWRENCH

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, air rattle guns, and breaker bars requiring a 1-7/16 inch SAE 6-point hex socket. Compatible with standard 1/2 inch square drive tool systems.

Installation Notes

Power down or de-energize any equipment before loosening or tightening fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use impact sockets with non-impact hand ratchets beyond their rated load, and do not use standard chrome sockets in place of impact-rated sockets on impact drivers or wrenches. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use.
