Proto J74280P Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 13/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J74280P is a 1/2 inch drive impact socket designed for use with pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic impact wrenches in professional trade and industrial applications. Built from alloy steel with a 6-point hex drive configuration, it delivers reliable torque transfer to 13/16 inch fasteners while resisting the torsional stress common in impact tool use. The socket measures 2-19/32 inches in overall length and conforms to ASME B107.2 standards. The universal style makes it a practical choice for mechanics, millwrights, and general maintenance professionals who need a durable, specification-grade socket in their drive set.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, fleet maintenance, equipment assembly, and general industrial fastening tasks. The 1/2 inch drive size is a standard workhorse size found across most professional impact wrench setups. The 13/16 inch socket size covers common fastener applications in automotive, HVAC equipment mounting, and structural assembly. The 6-point contact geometry reduces the risk of fastener rounding under high-torque impact conditions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification impact socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extension bars used in professional trade and industrial service environments.

Installation Notes

This socket should be installed and used by qualified mechanics or trade professionals familiar with impact tool operation. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the retaining pin or ring is secured before applying torque. Never use impact sockets on hand-ratchet tools beyond their rated torque capacity, and inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use. Power down or disconnect the impact tool before changing sockets.
