Gearwrench 84594N Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 36mm 6-pt

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84594N is a 36mm, 6-point hex impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from chromium-molybdenum steel with a black oxide finish, it is engineered to handle the high-torque demands of impact tools in professional shop and field environments. The off-corner loading design reduces fastener rounding by distributing force away from the corners of the fastener head. High-visibility laser-etched size markings, backed by secondary hard-stamped markings, allow for fast size identification in busy work conditions. This socket meets ASME B107.33M standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

Suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance applications where metric fasteners in the 36mm range are common. Typical uses include axle nut removal, suspension work, and drivetrain service. The 1/2 inch drive size makes it compatible with standard impact wrenches, breaker bars, and torque wrenches used by professional mechanics and service technicians. The metric sizing and black oxide finish are well matched to production and fleet maintenance environments.

• Off-corner loading reduces fastener rounding under load
• High-visibility laser-etched markings with secondary hard-stamped size backup
• Black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• Meets ASME B107.33M standard
• Lifetime warranty

Compatibility

Designed as a 1/2 inch drive impact socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches requiring a 36mm metric 6-point hex socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by professional mechanics and service technicians. Ensure the drive tool is rated for impact use before operation, and confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with hand-ratchet-only tools that lack impact ratings, as this can cause tool failure. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
