Gearwrench 84636 Hex Bit Socket 1/2 in Drive 1/2 in Hex

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 84636 is a 1/2 inch hex bit socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Built from steel and conforming to ASME B107.33 standards, this socket delivers the dimensional accuracy and strength required for heavy-duty hex fastener work. The bit length measures 0.58 inches with an overall length of 3-1/16 inches, giving technicians a compact but capable tool for driving large hex fasteners in tight or standard-clearance applications. Mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial service pros rely on this type of socket for hex-head fasteners found in machinery, equipment, and structural assemblies.

This hex bit socket is suited for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical applications where 1/2 inch hex fasteners require reliable torque transmission. The 1/2 inch drive interface pairs with standard 1/2 inch drive hand tools and pneumatic or electric impact-rated setups depending on the socket rating. It is a practical addition to a professional socket set when working on equipment with large hex fasteners or as a direct replacement for a worn or missing socket in an existing set.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of hex fasteners should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician.
