Performance Tool M801 Drive Impact Socket - 1/2-Inch 7/16-Inch 6-Point

The Performance Tool M801 is a heavy-duty 1/2-inch drive impact socket designed for use with impact wrenches and air tools. This professional-grade socket features a 7/16-inch hex opening with a 6-point design that provides superior grip on fastener heads while minimizing the risk of rounding.

Key Features:

• 1/2-inch drive size for compatibility with standard impact guns and ratchets
• 7/16-inch socket opening fits common automotive and industrial fasteners
• 6-point design provides maximum contact on hex fasteners and reduces slipping
• Impact-rated construction from heat-treated chrome molybdenum steel
• Black oxide finish resists corrosion and clearly identifies impact-rated sockets
• Chamfered opening for easy alignment on fasteners

Impact sockets are specifically engineered with thicker walls and softer steel to absorb the sudden torque delivered by impact tools without cracking or shattering. The 6-point configuration grips the flat sides of hex fasteners rather than the corners, distributing force more evenly and providing a more secure fit than 12-point designs.
