Proto J7416HF 1/2 Inch Drive Impact Socket 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7416HF is a 1/2 inch drive, 1/2 inch impact socket built for professional fastener work in demanding trade environments. The socket features a 6-point hex drive geometry and an overall length of 1.5 inches, keeping the profile compact for tight-clearance applications. Constructed from alloy steel with a magnetic design to retain fasteners during placement, this socket is intended for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical contractors will find this size and drive configuration useful across a wide range of service and installation tasks.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, equipment installation, and mechanical assembly work where a 1/2 inch hex fastener is involved. The compact 1.5 inch overall length makes it practical in confined spaces such as equipment cabinets, panel enclosures, and mechanical rooms. The magnetic retention feature assists single-handed fastener positioning, which is especially useful when working overhead or in restricted areas. It is packaged and sold individually.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified trade professionals with appropriate 1/2 inch drive impact or hand tools.

Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
