Socket 3/4" 46 mm 6-point for impact wrench, JCB JCB-46546

Impact socket for 3/4" drive with a 46 mm diameter and 6-point profile manufactured by JCB. The socket is intended for use with impact wrenches — pneumatic or electric — to apply and withstand high torque when loosening and tightening hexagonal fasteners. Its design focuses on robust torque transfer and resistance to repeated impact stresses common in automotive, industrial maintenance, and assembly applications.

Advantages

The 6-point geometry concentrates contact on the flats of fasteners to reduce rounding and improve torque delivery. Constructed for heavy-duty use, the socket resists chipping and deformation under impact loading and maintains fit accuracy over time. Compatibility with a 3/4" drive allows connection to a wide range of professional impact wrenches, enabling efficient power transfer and secure seating on large hex fasteners.

Suitable for

• Automotive wheel and axle nut removal and installation
• Heavy equipment maintenance and repair
• Industrial assembly and disassembly tasks requiring high torque
• Workshops using pneumatic or electric impact tools

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/4 inch
• Socket diameter: 46 mm
• Point configuration: 6-point (hex)
• Intended tool type: impact wrench (pneumatic or electric)
• Design focus: heavy-duty torque transfer and impact resistance

How to use

Select an impact wrench with a compatible 3/4" drive, attach the socket firmly to the tool's anvil, and place the socket squarely over the hex fastener. Operate the impact wrench according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, applying controlled bursts of torque when loosening or tightening. Inspect the socket and the fastener seating periodically during use to ensure correct engagement and to avoid slippage or rounding of the fastener.

Usage recommendations

Use with approved impact-rated extensions and adapters; avoid using the socket with hand ratchets or non-impact tools to prevent premature damage. Apply appropriate torque settings and consider using torque-limiting tools for final tightening to protect fasteners and assemblies.
