Proto J7320HT Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 5/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7320HT is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in industrial, mechanical, and trade settings. Built from alloy steel with a thin-wall profile, it accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits 5/8 inch hex fasteners. The 3.25 inch overall length gives clearance for recessed or hard-to-reach fastener locations. The 6-point geometry concentrates torque on the flat faces of the fastener, reducing rounding under high-impact loads. This socket is suited for air or electric impact wrenches used by mechanics, pipefitters, millwrights, and HVAC technicians working with equipment fasteners and structural hardware.

The J7320HT fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and is appropriate for residential and commercial service applications where a thin-wall socket is needed to access fasteners in tight clearance areas. Typical uses include equipment assembly, mechanical maintenance, and structural fastener work where a 5/8 inch hex fastener is common. The thin-wall construction allows use in confined spaces without sacrificing the strength requirements of impact-rated service.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive fits standard impact wrenches and drive tools
• 5/8 inch 6-point socket minimizes fastener rounding under impact torque
• Thin-wall profile allows access in tight or recessed fastener locations
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 3.25 inch overall length provides reach for deeper fastener access

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Fits 5/8 inch hex fasteners in standard and thin-wall clearance applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with non-impact hand ratchets beyond their rated capacity. Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener and joint type as defined by the equipment manufacturer or relevant trade standards.
