Proto J10041 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 2-9/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10041 is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in professional trade and industrial settings. Built for use with 1 inch drive impact wrenches, this socket fits a 2-9/16 inch hex fastener and measures 3.5 inches in overall length. The 6-point design concentrates torque on the flat sides of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high-impact loads. Licensed mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and heavy equipment service professionals rely on sockets in this drive class for demanding bolted connections that require significant torque output.

This socket is sized for large-diameter fasteners commonly found in heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, truck axle work, structural bolted assemblies, and industrial maintenance applications. The 1 inch drive platform is standard in shops and field service operations handling large fasteners where air or electric impact wrenches in the 1 inch drive class are part of the standard toolset.

Key Features

• 1 inch square drive fits standard 1 inch drive impact wrenches and drive tools
• 2-9/16 inch socket size for large hex fasteners
• 6-point contact geometry reduces corner damage on fasteners under high torque
• 3.5 inch overall length suits most standard bolt depths in the size class
• Hex drive style for direct engagement with hex-head fasteners and bolts

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit impact socket for 1 inch drive impact wrenches and manual drive tools used in heavy-duty mechanical and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by qualified mechanics or maintenance technicians familiar with 1 inch drive tooling. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, as impact sockets are subject to cyclic loading. Never use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets not rated for impact service.
