GearWrench 84530N 1/2 Inch Drive 6 Point Impact Socket 18mm

The GearWrench 84530N is a professional-grade 1/2 inch drive impact socket designed for use with impact wrenches and air tools. This 18mm metric socket features 6-point configuration for maximum torque transfer and reduced fastener rounding on hex-head bolts and nuts.

Key Features:

• Constructed from Chrome Molybdenum Alloy Steel (Cr-Mo) for exceptional strength and durability under high-torque impact applications
• Surface Drive Technology engages the flat sides of fasteners rather than the corners, significantly reducing the risk of rounding and extending fastener life
• Manganese Phosphate coating provides superior corrosion resistance and a non-slip surface finish
• High-visibility laser etched markings ensure quick and easy size identification, even in low-light conditions
• Secondary hard stamping provides permanent size identification that won't wear off over time
• Meets or exceeds ASME B107.2 specifications for impact sockets

This impact-rated socket is ideal for automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, and industrial applications where pneumatic or electric impact tools are used. The 6-point design provides better grip and reduces slippage compared to 12-point sockets when working with hex fasteners.
