Proto J7330HT Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 15/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7330HT is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastening and removal applications where high torque output is required. Built from alloy steel with a thin-wall profile, it accepts a 1/2 inch square drive and fits 15/16 inch hex fasteners. The 3.5 inch overall length provides reach in recessed or tight installations. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians rely on this socket type when working with impact wrenches and air rattle guns on bolts, nuts, and fittings that resist hand-tool torque.

This socket suits residential and commercial service work across mechanical trades. The thin-wall design is especially useful where fastener access is limited by surrounding hardware or tight clearances. The 6-point geometry concentrates torque on the flat faces of the hex fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact loads. It is a practical addition to any field or shop socket set where a 15/16 inch size in 1/2 inch drive is needed.

Key Features

• 6-point design applies torque to fastener flats, reducing corner rounding under impact load
• Thin-wall profile improves access in tight or recessed fastener locations
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact-tool use
• 1/2 inch square drive accepts standard 1/2 inch impact wrenches and ratchets
• 3.5 inch overall length provides reach for deeper fastener positions

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Fits 15/16 inch hex fasteners in a wide range of mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket with the drive tool powered down or the air supply disconnected before making or breaking the drive connection. Use only with impact-rated drive tools — do not substitute standard chrome hand-tool sockets in impact wrenches. Confirm fastener size matches socket size before applying torque to avoid fastener damage. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating impact tools.
