GearWrench 84938N 13-Piece 1/2" Drive 6-Point Universal Impact SAE Socket Set

The GearWrench 84938N 13-piece 1/2-inch drive universal impact SAE socket set delivers angled turning access and heavy breakout torque across fractional fastener sizes from 1/2-inch to 1-1/4 inches. Engineered with an integrated flex-joint swivel mechanism and forged from premium chrome molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel, each 6-point impact socket pivots smoothly to access obstructed fasteners without sacrificing rotational force. Outfitted with an off-corner loading design to prevent fastener rounding, a corrosion-resistant manganese phosphate conversion finish, dual high-visibility markings, and a heavy-duty blow-molded carrying case, it equips automotive technicians, heavy equipment mechanics, and fleet maintenance specialists with reliable off-axis turning power on high-torque pneumatic and cordless impact wrenches.

Best Used For:

  • Exhaust Manifold and Downpipe Fastening: Reaching angled, heat-seized exhaust flange nuts and manifold studs around vehicle firewalls and frame rails without binding standard extensions.
  • Automotive Suspension and Steering Service: Torquing control arm bolts, strut mounts, and steering box fasteners located in recessed, obstructed wheel well areas.
  • Heavy Machinery and Drivetrain Maintenance: Sizing and removing universal joint bolts, transmission crossmember fasteners, and hydraulic bracket hardware requiring angular socket alignment.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • Integrated Universal Flex-Joint: Smooth-swiveling pivot joint allows extreme angular fastener engagement in tight clearances where straight sockets cannot seat.
  • Impact-Grade Chrome Molybdenum Steel: Drop-forged Cr-Mo alloy construction withstands intense cyclic impact hammering and severe torque loads without structural failure.
  • Off-Corner Loading Geometry: 6-point socket design focuses rotational forces onto fastener flats instead of the corners to eliminate fastener head rounding.
  • Manganese Phosphate Surface Protection: Industrial-grade chemical conversion finish provides superior corrosion, moisture, and chemical resistance compared to standard finishes.
  • Dual High-Visibility Size Identification: Features bright laser-etched dimensional markings alongside permanent secondary hard-stamped size callouts for rapid selection in dim bays.
  • Heavy-Duty Molded Storage Case: Custom blow-molded case securely retains all 13 swivel impact sockets for organized drawer storage and mobile jobsite transport.

What's Included

  • (13) 1/2" Drive 6-Point Universal Impact SAE Sockets: 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 13/16", 7/8", 15/16", 1", 1-1/16", 1-1/8", 1-3/16", 1-1/4"

Pro-Tip: When using swivel impact sockets at steep operating angles, keep forward axial hand pressure applied to the back of the impact gun; this keeps the 6-point flex head seated flush against the fastener flats and minimizes universal joint bind.
