Built with a 6-point drive profile and an overall length of 1.5 inches, this socket delivers solid engagement on hex fasteners while minimizing slippage under high-torque conditions. The compact 1.5-inch length makes it well-suited for confined fastening applications where clearance is limited. Mechanics, millwrights, and general contractors rely on this type of impact-rated socket for production and service work where hand-ratchet sockets would fail under impact loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J7408M is intended for use in automotive, industrial maintenance, and mechanical assembly settings. Its 6-point geometry concentrates driving force on the flat sides of a hex fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque impact use. This socket is appropriate for service bays, production lines, and field maintenance applications where a 1\/2 inch drive impact tool is the standard platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive size compatible with standard 1\/2 inch impact wrenches and ratchets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8mm hex socket size for metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point drive profile reduces fastener rounding under impact torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 inch overall length suits both open and semi-confined work areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImpact-rated design for use with pneumatic and electric impact tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style impact socket for use with standard 1\/2 inch drive impact wrenches, torque wrenches, and ratchets accepting 1\/2 inch drive tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMechanics and maintenance technicians should confirm the drive tool is powered down or de-pressurized before attaching or removing impact sockets. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the retaining pin or ring is engaged before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet tools in place of chrome sockets, and do not use chrome hand sockets with 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\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8mm\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: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27110000\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: J7408M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540392247602,"sku":"J7408M","price":17.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/22c35bc69ba17b26f50f582e600a5275.jpg?v=1785854048","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j7408m-impact-socket-1-2-in-drive-8mm-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
