Proto J7330S Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 15/16 in 8 Point

Product Description

The PROTO J7330S is an 8-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in professional trade and industrial applications. Built for 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets, this socket fits a 15/16 inch fastener size and measures 3.5 inches in overall length. The 8-point geometry provides additional contact points compared to a standard 6-point socket, making it useful for driving worn or damaged fasteners where a more distributed load helps reduce slippage. At 1.24 pounds, the socket carries the solid mass expected of a professional-grade impact-rated tool.

This socket is suited for mechanical, construction, and industrial maintenance work where 1/2 inch drive impact tools are standard. Typical applications include automotive, heavy equipment, structural steel assembly, and HVAC equipment installation requiring fastener work on 15/16 inch hardware. The 8-point configuration supports use in tight-access scenarios where partial-turn engagement is an advantage. This is a single-piece SKU appropriate for individual technicians or tool inventory replenishment.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive fits standard impact wrenches and ratchets
• 15/16 inch socket size for corresponding fastener heads and nuts
• 8-point design provides additional engagement contact on fasteners
• 3.5 inch overall length offers reach in recessed fastener locations
• Impact-rated construction handles the torque demands of pneumatic and electric impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit option for 1/2 inch drive impact tool sets requiring a 15/16 inch 8-point socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench, air ratchet, or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. Impact sockets are not interchangeable with chrome hand-tool sockets under impact loads — always use impact-rated sockets with impact drivers. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
