Gearwrench 84580N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 22mm 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84580N is a 22mm, 6-point impact socket with a 1/2 inch drive, built for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service applications. Constructed from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it is designed to handle the high-torque demands of pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. High-visibility laser-etched size markings allow fast identification in the field, and secondary hard-stamped markings serve as a permanent backup. The off-corner loading geometry distributes force away from fastener corners, reducing the likelihood of rounding. This socket meets ASME B107.33M standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

This socket is suited for metric fastener work across a wide range of trades, including automotive repair, fleet maintenance, equipment service, and general mechanical work. The 1/2 inch drive size makes it compatible with standard impact drivers and drive tools commonly used in professional shop and field environments. At 3.23 inches in length and 1.25 inches in width, it fits within typical tool storage layouts and socket rail systems. It is sold individually and is intended as a direct-use or replacement socket for metric service work.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by mechanical technicians and service professionals using 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches or hand ratchets. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive tool anvil before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and do not use hand-socket extensions or adapters with impact tools unless rated for impact duty.
