Built for heavy-duty fastener work, it delivers reliable torque transfer in professional mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. The hex drive profile and 6-point geometry provide maximum contact on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact conditions. At 1.5 inches overall length, it fits in standard socket sets and works well in moderate-clearance applications. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is compact and suited for technicians who need a dependable metric impact socket for production or field service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is appropriate for automotive repair, fleet maintenance, heavy equipment service, and general mechanical work where a 16mm fastener and 1\/2 inch drive impact tool are required. It is well suited for professional mechanics, HVAC technicians working on equipment fasteners, and industrial maintenance trades. The 6-point design is preferred for impact use over 12-point sockets because it concentrates force across the full flat of the fastener, making it the correct choice for high-torque or stubborn fastener removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive size compatible with standard impact wrenches and ratchets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16mm socket size for metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point hex drive geometry maximizes contact and reduces fastener rounding under impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5 inches overall length suits moderate-clearance work environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.2 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during extended use\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 1\/2 inch drive impact wrenches, air tools, and ratchets accepting standard square drive sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove using a 1\/2 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque. Power down or de-energize any electrically driven equipment before accessing fasteners in electrical or HVAC enclosures. Do not use impact sockets with hand-drive torque wrenches, as impact-rated sockets are not calibrated for precision torque applications.\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: 16mm\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: 0.2 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: J7416M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541524447538,"sku":"J7416M","price":17.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d7b469182f6e4833610d35b1a5c07dbf.jpg?v=1785878305","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j7416m-impact-socket-1-2-in-drive-16mm-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
