Built from alloy steel, it accepts a 1\/2 inch drive and fits 18mm hex fasteners. The 6-point design concentrates force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding during high-torque impact use. At 2-11\/16 inches overall length, it provides adequate reach for recessed fasteners without adding unnecessary bulk. This socket meets ASME B107.2 standards and is suited for use with 1\/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets used by automotive technicians, HVAC installers, electricians, and general trade professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J74418MP is intended for use in applications where a standard chrome socket would not withstand the shock loads generated by pneumatic or cordless impact tools. Its alloy steel construction and 6-point geometry make it appropriate for high-torque fastener installation and removal on mechanical, electrical, and HVAC equipment. The universal style designation indicates broad applicability across common fastener configurations encountered in residential and commercial trade work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive accepts standard impact wrenches and ratchets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18mm hex socket size for metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point design reduces fastener rounding under high torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction rated for impact tool use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B107.2 specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2-11\/16 inch overall length for general access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment impact socket for use with 1\/2 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and torque tools requiring an 18mm 6-point socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove this socket only with tools rated for impact use. Do not use impact sockets on torque-limiting tools unless the tool manufacturer specifically permits it. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and remove from service if damage is found. Always ensure the drive retainer or pin-and-ring detent is fully engaged before applying torque.\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: 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASME Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: B107.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.32 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.7 inches L x 1.3 inches W x 1.3 inches H\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: J74418MP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544607981874,"sku":"J74418MP","price":62.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bbd9d8c14ac1a31b29d01723d62e4da3.jpg?v=1785931308","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j74418mp-impact-socket-1-2-in-drive-18mm-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
