Proto J10031L Impact Socket 1 in Drive 1-15/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J10031L is a 1-inch drive, 6-point hex impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in demanding trade environments. Sized at 1-15/16 inches, it delivers the torque transfer needed for impact wrenches used in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service applications. With an overall length of 4.25 inches, the socket provides reach in tight or recessed fastener locations. Weighing 4.12 pounds, it is built for the rigors of daily professional use. Licensed tradespeople and industrial mechanics rely on this socket when standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact tool use.

This impact socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work where a 1-inch drive impact wrench is in use. Typical applications include heavy equipment service, large-diameter piping flange bolts, structural fasteners, and mechanical equipment installations common in HVAC and plumbing trades. The 6-point design concentrates drive force on the flat faces of a hex fastener, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. It is intended for use with 1-inch drive pneumatic or electric impact wrenches.

Key Features

• 1-inch drive size for use with heavy-duty impact wrenches
• 1-15/16 inch socket size fits standard hex fasteners of that dimension
• 6-point hex drive reduces fastener rounding under impact torque
• 4.25 inch overall length provides reach in recessed or flanged applications
• Rated for impact tool use — not a chrome hand-tool socket

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use impact socket for 1-inch drive pneumatic and electric impact wrenches requiring a 1-15/16 inch, 6-point hex socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by qualified mechanics and trade professionals using a 1-inch drive impact wrench. Always confirm the drive retainer or hog ring is fully engaged before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with hand-ratchet tools not rated for impact loads. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is present.
