Proto J7313M Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 13mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7313M is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built for high-torque fastening and removal applications, it accepts a 13mm hex fastener and measures 3.25 inches overall length. The 6-point geometry concentrates force on the flat sides of the fastener, reducing the risk of rounding. This socket is a standard choice for mechanical, industrial, and construction trades where impact-rated tooling is required.

The J7313M is suited for automotive service, equipment maintenance, and structural assembly work where 13mm fasteners are common. Its 1/2 inch drive size fits mid- to heavy-duty impact tools standard in professional shops and field service environments. The deep-drive hex profile makes it compatible with both powered impact wrenches and hand-operated 1/2 inch drive ratchets for versatile use across tasks.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive size fits standard mid- and heavy-duty impact wrenches and ratchets
• 13mm socket size for metric hex fastener applications
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• 3.25 inches overall length provides reach in recessed fastener applications
• Impact-rated construction handles the repeated shock loads of pneumatic and electric impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use impact socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars used in professional mechanical and industrial service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical and maintenance trades using 1/2 inch drive impact or hand tools. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage and fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, especially after high-torque impact work. Impact sockets are not rated for use with torque wrenches requiring precise torque values.
