Proto J10036L Impact Socket 1 in Drive 2-1/4 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10036L is a 1-inch drive, 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in demanding trade environments. It accepts a 2-1/4 inch hex fastener and measures 4.5 inches overall length, giving technicians the reach and clearance needed in tight or deep-set applications. The 6-point geometry maximizes contact with fastener flats, reducing rounding and cam-out under high torque. Weighing 5.44 pounds, this is a full-sized, robust socket intended for professional use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches. Industrial maintenance crews, heavy equipment mechanics, and commercial contractors are the primary users.

This socket is suited for industrial and commercial maintenance applications where large-diameter fasteners are common — think structural steel assemblies, heavy machinery, compressor mounts, and large-diameter pipe flanges. The 1-inch drive size indicates compatibility with high-torque pneumatic or hydraulic impact wrenches standard in fleet, plant, and field service settings. The 2-1/4 inch socket size targets large hex-head bolts and nuts typical in industrial equipment installations and heavy mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 1-inch square drive for use with high-torque impact wrenches
• 2-1/4 inch socket size fits large hex-head fasteners
• 6-point design maximizes surface contact and reduces fastener rounding
• 4.5 inches overall length provides reach in recessed or deep-bolt applications
• Built for impact tool use — engineered to absorb high-torque shock loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use impact socket for 1-inch drive pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric impact wrenches used in industrial and heavy commercial applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and operated by mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians. Always ensure the impact wrench drive size matches the 1-inch female square drive before use. Verify the fastener size matches the 2-1/4 inch socket opening to avoid slippage under torque. Never use impact sockets with standard ratchet handles, and do not use standard chrome sockets with impact tools.
