Proto J7423M Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 23mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7423M is a 23mm, 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built for the demands of professional trade work, this socket features a hex drive style and measures 1-39/64 inches overall length. The 6-point contact geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under high torque, making it a reliable choice for mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who depend on impact-rated tooling for daily use.

This socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and general industrial applications where a 23mm fastener size is common. The 1/2 inch drive size is standard across a wide range of professional impact tools, making the J7423M a practical addition to any service or maintenance kit. It is sold individually and ships in a quantity of one.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment impact socket for 1/2 inch drive impact tools requiring a 23mm, 6-point hex socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench, ratchet, or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque to prevent slippage. Always confirm the socket is impact-rated before use with pneumatic or electric impact tools — standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if damage is found.
