Klein Tools 66080 2-in-1 13/16-Inch Penta and 3/4-Inch Hex Flip Impact Socket Set
The Klein Tools 66080 2-in-1 Penta/Hex Flip Impact Socket with Adapter serves as a dual-sided power driving head engineered to service underground distribution hardware and security enclosures using 1/2 inch square drive impact wrenches. Forged from high-strength 4140 tool steel with an S2 steel adapter shank featuring a black manganese phosphate corrosion finish, this 12-2/5 oz (12.4 oz) deep-well socket assembly measures 4-18/25 inches (4.72 inches) in overall height by 1-23/100 inches (1.23 inches) in outer diameter. Designed to meet ASME B107.17M and B107.4 standards while enduring extreme rotational impact forces, this multi-head tool allows utility linemen, electrical contractors, and municipal workers to instantly reverse between 5-point 13/16 inch penta security bolts and 6-point 3/4 inch hex lag bolts without switching power tool attachments.
Best Used For:
- Underground Utility Enclosure Servicing: Removing 5-point 13/16 inch tamper-resistant pentagonal security bolts on pad-mounted transformers and secondary junction boxes.
- Pole-Line & Overhead Hardware Installation: Driving 6-point 3/4 inch heavy hex nuts and crossarm lag bolts using 1/2 inch drive cordless impact wrenches.
- High-Torque Power Wrench Conversion: Adapting standard 1/2 inch square impact anvils (such as the Klein BAT20CW1) for instant reversible socket flipping under continuous jobsite vibration.
Key Performance & Safety Features
- 2-in-1 Reversible Flip Design: Dual-ended deep-well sleeve quickly slides off the drive adapter and flips to switch between 13/16 inch penta and 3/4 inch hex heads.
- 5-Point & 6-Point Precision Geometries: Integrates a 5-point pentagonal socket head for tamperproof utility enclosure bolts and a 6-point socket face for standard hex nuts.
- Black Manganese Phosphate Coating: Industrial protective surface treatment shields steel surfaces from moisture oxidation, rust, and abrasion wear.
- High-Tension Steel Ball Detent: Spring-loaded detent ball secures the flip socket onto the 1/2 to 1/2 inch square adapter anvil to prevent socket drop-off.
- ASME Certified Impact Construction: Heat-treated 4140 and S2 alloy steel metallurgy complies with ASME B107.17M and B107.4 standards for high-impact power driving.
- Color-Coded Visual Identification: Distinctive size band allows rapid visual identification of socket dimensions inside dark tool bags or utility truck bins.

Pro-Tip: When servicing underground transformer cabinets, clear dirt and debris out of the 5-point pentagonal bolt head before seating the 13/16 inch penta socket. Full engagement over the pentagonal flats prevents corner rounding and ensures proper torque transfer when loosening stubborn security hardware.
