Proto J10018 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 1-1/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10018 is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in professional trade and industrial settings. It accepts a 1 inch square drive and fits a 1-1/8 inch hex fastener. The overall length measures 2-5/8 inches. Built for use with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric impact wrenches, this socket delivers the wall thickness and metallurgy required to withstand the high-torque shock loads that standard chrome sockets cannot handle. Mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This socket is suited for high-torque applications found in heavy equipment maintenance, truck and fleet service, structural steel assembly, and industrial machinery repair. The 1 inch drive size places it in the heavy-duty range, appropriate for large-frame impact wrenches used in commercial and industrial environments rather than light residential work. The 6-point contact geometry reduces the risk of fastener rounding under load, making it well suited for rusted or high-torque fasteners.

Key Features

• 1 inch square drive accepts heavy-duty impact wrenches
• 1-1/8 inch socket size for hex fasteners
• 6-point drive geometry minimizes fastener rounding under load
• Overall length of 2-5/8 inches for standard reach applications
• Impact-rated construction suitable for pneumatic and electric impact wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1 inch drive impact wrenches in heavy-duty industrial and fleet service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or industrial maintenance technician using a properly rated 1 inch drive impact wrench. Verify the socket is fully seated on both the drive anvil and the fastener before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with non-impact ratchets or breaker bars in applications that exceed the tool rating. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
