Proto J6513MH Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 13mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J6513MH is a 1/4 inch drive impact socket designed for use with impact wrenches and air tools in professional trade environments. Built with a 6-point hex drive configuration, it accepts a 13mm fastener and measures 2 inches overall length. The 6-point design concentrates force on the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact use. Weighing 0.14 pounds, this socket is compact and well-suited for confined-space fastener work. Mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople will find it a reliable addition to an impact-rated socket set.

This socket is used wherever a 13mm fastener requires impact-rated removal or installation. Typical applications include automotive service, light industrial maintenance, and mechanical assembly work. The 1/4 inch drive size suits smaller fasteners and tighter access points where a larger drive would be impractical. It is appropriate for both shop and field use with any 1/4 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch drive fits standard 1/4 inch impact wrenches and ratchets
• 13mm socket size for metric fastener applications
• 6-point hex drive reduces corner rounding under impact torque
• 2 inch overall length for access in tighter clearances
• Lightweight at 0.14 pounds for reduced hand fatigue in repetitive use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement impact socket compatible with standard 1/4 inch drive impact tools accepting 13mm metric fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any 1/4 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Use only impact-rated sockets with impact wrenches — chrome hand-tool sockets are not rated for impact use and may fracture. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
