Proto J7436M Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 36mm 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7436M is a 36mm, 6-point impact socket designed for 1/2 inch square drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. Built for high-torque fastening and removal applications, it features a hex drive style and a standard overall length of 2 inches. The 6-point contact geometry distributes force evenly across fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under heavy impact loads. At 0.89 pounds, the socket is solid and durable without adding unnecessary bulk to a tool bag. It is suited for professional mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require reliable performance in demanding environments.

This socket is appropriate for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance applications where a 36mm fastener and a 1/2 inch drive impact tool are standard. The standard-length profile makes it a practical fit for most accessible fastener locations. It is sold individually, making it a direct replacement or single-socket addition to an existing set.

Key Features

• 36mm socket size for large-fastener applications
• 1/2 inch square drive compatible with standard impact wrenches
• 6-point hex drive design reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Standard length at 2 inches overall for broad fitment
• Weighs 0.89 pounds — substantial construction without excess bulk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or add-on impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and hand ratchets requiring a 36mm, 6-point hex socket.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should be used only with impact-rated drive tools — do not substitute chrome hand-tool sockets on impact wrenches. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the detent pin or retaining ring is engaged before applying torque.
