Proto J07517 Impact Socket 3/4 in Drive 1-1/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J07517 is a 3/4 inch drive impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications. It features a 1-1/16 inch hex socket with a 6-point drive configuration, which concentrates force on the flat sides of the fastener to reduce rounding under heavy load. The overall length of 2-1/16 inches keeps the profile compact for use in confined spaces. At 0.81 pounds, it is built for repeated use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches. Maintenance technicians, industrial mechanics, and trade professionals use this socket where standard chrome sockets would fail under impact stress.

This impact socket is suited for industrial maintenance, heavy equipment service, construction, and mechanical assembly work where 3/4 inch drive impact tools are standard. The 6-point hex configuration makes it appropriate for use on heavy fasteners such as large bolts, nuts, and structural hardware. It fits into tool setups where high-torque output from impact guns demands a socket rated for that load. Applications span commercial vehicle service, structural steel work, and general industrial maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch drive fits standard 3/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets
• 1-1/16 inch 6-point hex socket concentrates torque on fastener flats to minimize rounding
• Compact 2-1/16 inch overall length for use in tighter work areas
• Rated for impact use — construction differs from chrome hand-tool sockets
• Lightweight at 0.81 pounds for a 3/4 inch drive impact socket

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 3/4 inch drive pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric impact wrenches that accept standard square drive tooling.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be paired with impact-rated drive tools — never use impact sockets with torque wrenches, as the socket geometry is not optimized for torque measurement applications. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the retaining pin or hog ring is engaged before applying torque.
