Gearwrench 84564N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-1/2 in 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84564N is a 6-point hex drive impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in the trades. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits 1-1/2 inch fasteners. The 6-point geometry and off-corner loading design reduce the risk of rounding fastener heads under high-torque impact use. High-visibility laser-etched markings allow fast size identification without picking up the socket, and secondary hard-stamped markings provide a permanent backup reference. This socket meets ASME B107.2 standards and carries a lifetime warranty, making it a reliable addition to any professional impact tool kit.

The 84564N is suited for automotive, mechanical, and construction trade work where 1/2 inch drive impact tools are standard. It handles SAE fasteners in residential and commercial applications alike. Typical use cases include suspension and drivetrain work, structural fastening on equipment, and general mechanical assembly where high-torque removal or installation of 1-1/2 inch fasteners is required. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance in shop environments. At 3.23 inches in length and 1.87 pounds, it fits standard deep-reach and compact impact wrenches without clearance issues in most applications.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Fits standard SAE 1-1/2 inch hex fasteners. Compatible with square-drive impact tools conforming to 1/2 inch drive specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson using a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets on hand-ratchet-only tools not rated for impact loads.
