It accepts a 1\/2 inch fastener and measures 2 inches in overall length, making it a compact option for tight-access fastening tasks. Built for impact tool use, it is engineered to handle the torsional stress and sudden shock loads that standard chrome sockets cannot reliably absorb. Weighing 0.12 pounds, it adds minimal bulk to a socket set. Technicians across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades reach for impact sockets when driving or removing fasteners on equipment panels, flanges, and structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for light-duty impact work where a 1\/4 inch drive tool is the right size for the job. The 1\/4 inch drive platform is common on cordless and pneumatic impact drivers used in residential service work, equipment installation, and panel assembly. The 6-point contact geometry distributes torque evenly across fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service applications where compact tooling is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch drive fits standard 1\/4 inch impact wrenches and drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch 6-point socket size for secure fastener engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex drive style for direct hex fastener drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 inch overall length for use in moderate-clearance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.12 pounds for easy handling in a socket set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental socket for use with 1\/4 inch drive impact wrenches and pneumatic or cordless impact drivers accepting standard 1\/4 inch drive accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove with a 1\/4 inch drive impact wrench or rattle gun only. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact ratchets for sustained torque applications, as the socket geometry differs from standard chrome sockets. Verify the fastener size and drive engagement before applying impact force to avoid fastener damage. Follow applicable safety guidelines when operating pneumatic or cordless impact tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J6516H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541241856306,"sku":"J6516H","price":17.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/429410c930f46a6177089e75b487f18d.jpg?v=1785870563","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j6516h-impact-socket-1-4-in-drive-1-2-in-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
