TEKTON 1/2 Inch Drive 1-1/8 Inch 6-Point Impact Socket

SKU CH-W62R-P3CM9

A 1/2-inch drive impact socket with a 6-point opening that meets 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME proof-torque standard and has laser plus stamped size markings

  • High-visibility laser and permanent stamped markings won't wear off
  • 6-point opening gives exact fit on hex fasteners
  • Radiused corners drive force onto flats to prevent round-off
  • Meets 1.3× ANSI/ASME proof-torque minimum
  • Detent pin hole lets you choose pin engagement

Drive Compatibility and Fastener Fit

This 1/2 inch drive impact socket fits hex fasteners measuring 1-1/8 inches. Its 6-point opening grips the flat sides of a bolt or nut, while radiused corners reduce the chance of rounding. Both laser-etched and stamped size markings remain readable after heavy use. The detent pin hole works with either friction ring or detent pin anvils.

Upgrading From Worn or Shallow Sockets

The socket meets at least 1.3 times the ANSI/ASME proof torque standard, so it handles higher impact loads than standard chrome sockets. Switch when an old socket shows rounded corners, faded markings, or a loose fit on the anvil. The dual marking system also speeds identification compared with sockets that rely on a single stamp.

Impact Use Limits

The tool is rated for impact applications only and is not suited for hand ratchet torque that exceeds its proof load. The 1/2 inch square drive must match the anvil on your impact wrench; mismatched drives can slip or damage the retaining mechanism. Orders of $75 or more ship free from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item

Does the 1/2 inch drive fit both friction ring and detent pin anvils?

Yes, the socket is designed for use with both friction ring anvils and detent pin anvils, and includes a detent pin hole on one side.

What is the correct way to engage the detent pin on this socket?

Align the detent pin hole on the socket with the pin on your anvil and press until it clicks; the pin hole is on one side only, so orientation matters.

Will the size markings remain readable after heavy use?

Each socket has both a high-visibility laser marking and a permanent stamped marking that won't wear off, so the size stays legible.
