Proto J75280P 1/2 in Drive 13/16 in Impact Socket 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J75280P is a 6-point hex drive impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from alloy steel, it accepts a 13/16 inch fastener and measures 3.5 inches overall length. The universal style construction is suited for high-torque impact applications where standard chrome sockets would crack or shatter. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians reach for this socket when driving large fasteners in tight timeframes. The alloy steel body handles the rotational shock loads produced by pneumatic and cordless impact drivers without deforming the socket walls or rounding the drive tang.

This impact socket is a fit for residential and commercial mechanical work, HVAC equipment installation, plumbing rough-in, and general industrial maintenance. Applications include tightening and loosening condenser unit fasteners, large flange bolts, equipment mounting hardware, and structural connections. The 6-point geometry maximizes contact with fastener flats and reduces the risk of cam-out under load. It meets ASME B107.2 standards for impact sockets, making it appropriate for professional service environments where tool compliance is required.

Key Features

• 6-point hex drive geometry maximizes fastener contact and reduces cam-out risk
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact tool use with pneumatic and cordless drivers
• Meets ASME B107.2 specification for impact-rated sockets
• Universal style design for broad application across fastener types
• 3.5 inch overall length provides clearance in recessed or partially obstructed fastener locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extension bars in professional trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench or manual ratchet. Inspect the socket and drive square for wear or cracks before each use and do not use damaged sockets under impact load. Always ensure the drive retainer or hog ring is engaged before operating to prevent socket ejection during use. Impact sockets should not be used with standard chrome hand-tool ratchets as sustained impact loads can cause brittle fracture.
