Built for use with a 1\/2 inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar, it accepts a 1-3\/16 inch hex fastener and delivers the torque transfer and wall thickness needed for impact-rated use. The overall length is 2 inches, keeping it compact for tight-clearance work. Licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians reach for impact-rated sockets when standard chrome sockets would crack or slip under high torque. This socket is designed to absorb the hammering action of pneumatic and electric impact tools without fracturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J7438H is suited for residential and commercial service work where 1-3\/16 inch fasteners appear on equipment mounts, pipe flanges, structural hardware, or mechanical assemblies. Its 6-point geometry reduces the chance of rounding a fastener compared to 12-point designs, making it a reliable choice when working with worn or corroded hardware. Compact at 2 inches overall length, it fits into recessed fastener locations that longer sockets cannot reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive size compatible with standard impact wrenches and breaker bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/16 inch socket size for precise fastener engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point hex geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 inch overall length suits tight-clearance and recessed installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImpact-rated construction absorbs hammering action from pneumatic and electric tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use impact socket for any 1\/2 inch drive impact wrench, breaker bar, or ratchet requiring a 1-3\/16 inch 6-point hex socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is installed and removed by trade professionals including mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians. Always confirm the drive tool is de-energized or disconnected from the air supply before changing sockets. Use only impact-rated sockets with impact wrenches — do not substitute standard chrome hand-tool sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.74 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J7438H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544160076082,"sku":"J7438H","price":30.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f1477b2c646d97dfbf3badbc9b90dced.jpg?v=1785924924","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j7438h-impact-socket-1-2-in-drive-1-3-16-in-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
