Proto J10041L Impact Socket 1 in Drive 2-9/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10041L is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for use with 1 inch drive impact wrenches in demanding trade and industrial applications. Built to a 6-point hex drive configuration, it delivers a 2-9/16 inch socket size with an overall length of 5 inches, making it well suited for high-torque fastening tasks. At 7.14 pounds, it is a solid, substantial tool built for repeated use under load. This socket is intended for installation and maintenance work performed by mechanical contractors, millwrights, pipefitters, and industrial service technicians who require a reliable large-drive impact socket.

This socket is appropriate for heavy equipment service, structural steel assembly, large-diameter pipe flange bolting, and other high-torque applications that call for a 1 inch drive tool. The 6-point design concentrates force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under impact load. It is suitable for both shop and field use wherever a 2-9/16 inch hex fastener must be driven or removed at high torque.

Key Features

• 1 inch square drive accepts standard 1 inch drive impact wrenches and torque multipliers
• 2-9/16 inch socket size fits common large hex fasteners in heavy equipment and structural applications
• 6-point hex drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under high-impact torque
• 5 inch overall length provides clearance in recessed or flanged fastener locations
• Weighs 7.14 pounds, indicating robust wall thickness appropriate for impact service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and direct-fit impact socket for 1 inch drive impact wrenches and torque multipliers used in heavy mechanical, industrial, and construction service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket using a properly rated 1 inch drive impact wrench or torque multiplier. Always verify the fastener size matches the 2-9/16 inch socket before applying impact force to avoid fastener or socket damage. Use only impact-rated retaining pins or rings to secure the socket to the drive tool. Do not use this socket with standard hand-drive ratchets, as impact sockets are heat-treated differently than hand sockets and tool misuse may cause failure.
