Proto J7414H Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 7/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7414H is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastening and removal tasks. Built for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns, this socket accepts 7/16 inch hex fasteners and features a compact 1.5 inch overall length. The 6-point design concentrates force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. Licensed tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service will find this socket a reliable addition to their impact drive set.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service applications where a 1/2 inch drive impact tool is the standard. Common install scenarios include equipment fastening, panel mounting, and mechanical assembly work where consistent torque delivery on hex-head fasteners is required. Its short overall length of 1.5 inches makes it manageable in tighter access areas without sacrificing engagement depth.

Key Features

• 6-point drive geometry concentrates torque on fastener flats, reducing fastener damage
• 1/2 inch drive size compatible with standard impact wrenches and drive extensions
• 7/16 inch socket size fits common hex-head fasteners found in mechanical and trade applications
• Compact 1.5 inch overall length for use in space-constrained installations
• Impact-rated construction for use with pneumatic and cordless impact tools

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, breaker bars, and ratchets. Fits standard 7/16 inch hex-head fasteners across a range of mechanical and trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and removal should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using appropriate impact-rated drive equipment. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or fastener damage. Do not use impact sockets on manual torque wrenches unless rated for that application. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if any damage is found.
