Proto J10023 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 1-7/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10023 is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. Built around a 1-inch square drive, it accepts a 1-7/16 inch hex fastener and delivers the torque transfer needed for air or electric impact wrenches. The overall length of 2-7/16 inches keeps the socket compact for use in tighter clearances while still providing full fastener engagement. Weighing 1.71 pounds, the J10023 is a solid, single-piece tool suited for professional use by mechanics, ironworkers, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians.

This socket is used wherever large-diameter fasteners require impact-rated tooling. Common applications include heavy equipment maintenance, structural steel assembly, truck and fleet service, and industrial machinery repair. The 1-inch drive size places this socket in the large-drive category, pairing with 1-inch drive impact wrenches and breaker bars standard in heavy-duty shops and field service environments. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or add-on to an existing impact socket set.

Key Features

• 1-inch square drive accepts standard large-drive impact wrenches and breaker bars
• 1-7/16 inch socket size fits hex fasteners common in heavy equipment and structural applications
• 6-point contact geometry maximizes torque transfer and reduces fastener rounding
• 2-7/16 inch overall length provides a compact profile for improved clearance access
• Impact-rated construction handles the shock loading of pneumatic and electric impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches, torque multipliers, and breaker bars in heavy-duty mechanical and industrial service settings.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be used with impact-rated drive tools. Before use, confirm the retaining pin or hog ring is secure and the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil. Never use impact sockets with hand-drive ratchets, as the drive geometry and material hardness differ from standard chrome sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
