Proto J7426M Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 26mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7426M is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in professional trade and industrial environments. Built for 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets, it accepts a 26mm hex fastener and measures 2 inches overall length (OAL). The 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under high-torque impact loads, making it a reliable choice for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work where pneumatic or cordless impact tools are standard.

This socket fits applications where a 1/2 inch drive impact tool is used with metric fasteners. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting, pipe flange bolting, electrical panel work, and mechanical component replacement. The 26mm size is commonly encountered on larger metric fasteners found in commercial and light industrial equipment. It is suited for use by licensed trades and service technicians who require a dependable, correctly rated impact-grade socket for repetitive high-torque operations.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive fits standard impact wrenches and ratchets
• 26mm socket size for metric hex fasteners
• 6-point drive style minimizes fastener rounding under impact torque
• 2 inch OAL for standard-depth fastener access
• Impact-rated construction suitable for pneumatic and cordless impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars requiring a 26mm 6-point metric socket.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified trade professionals familiar with impact tooling. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with hand-ratchet-only tools not rated for impact loads. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and retire any damaged socket immediately.
