Proto J10043 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 2-11/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10043 is a 1-inch drive, 6-point hex impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in industrial, mechanical, and construction environments. With a socket size of 2-11/16 inches and an overall length of 3-21/32 inches, this socket is built to handle high-torque impact wrench applications. The 6-point geometry maximizes contact with fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under load. It is sized for professional use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches and is typically installed or used by industrial mechanics, heavy equipment technicians, and pipefitters working with large-diameter fasteners.

This socket fits standard 1-inch drive impact wrenches and is suited for applications involving large hex fasteners found in heavy equipment, structural steel assembly, flange bolting, and industrial machinery maintenance. The 2-11/16-inch socket size addresses fastener dimensions common in these trade environments. It is appropriate for both shop and field use where a 1-inch drive impact tool is the primary means of torque application.

Key Features

• 1-inch drive size compatible with heavy-duty impact wrenches
• 2-11/16-inch socket size for large hex fasteners
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Hex drive style for positive engagement on standard hex-head hardware
• Overall length of 3-21/32 inches for access in typical industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with standard 1-inch square drive impact wrenches in industrial and heavy-duty mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use with 1-inch drive pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric impact wrenches. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the retaining pin or ring is secure before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with hand-drive ratchets or torque wrenches, as impact-rated tools are required for safe operation. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if wear is evident.
