Proto J7422S Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 11/16 in 8-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7422S is an 8-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. The 11/16 inch socket size and 1.5 inch overall length make it well suited for fastener work in tight or standard-clearance applications. The 8-point geometry is built for square-head fasteners and recessed bolts common in industrial and mechanical assemblies. Weighing 0.27 pounds, the socket is compact without sacrificing the wall thickness needed to handle high-torque impact use. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics working in industrial maintenance, construction, or heavy equipment service will find this socket a reliable addition to a professional impact set.

This socket is appropriate for industrial maintenance, mechanical assembly, and heavy-duty fastener work where a 1/2 inch drive impact tool is the standard. The 8-point configuration targets square-head fasteners and certain specialty bolt heads encountered in structural, hydraulic, and machine-frame applications. It is suited for both shop and field use where an impact-rated socket is required by the task or by workplace safety standards.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive fits standard impact wrenches and drive extensions
• 11/16 inch 8-point socket geometry for square-head fasteners
• 1.5 inch overall length for use in standard and moderately confined spaces
• Impact-rated construction to withstand high-torque tool output
• Lightweight at 0.27 pounds for reduced fatigue in repetitive fastener work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, torque wrenches, and ratchets requiring an 8-point, 11/16 inch socket.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets are installed and removed by mechanics and maintenance technicians using 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches or hand ratchets. 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 chrome hand-tool ratchets beyond their rated torque, and never use non-impact chrome sockets on an impact wrench. Follow applicable workplace safety and OSHA hand-tool standards when operating impact equipment.
