Proto J10044L Impact Socket 1 in Drive 2-3/4 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10044L is a 1-inch drive, 6-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal applications in industrial, mechanical, and heavy-equipment service environments. Built around a hex drive style, this socket accepts 2-3/4-inch fasteners and delivers a 5-inch overall length that provides clearance in deep or recessed bolt applications. At 7.69 pounds, the J10044L is a substantial, full-duty socket intended for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and heavy-equipment technicians rely on this size range for drivetrain, axle, and structural fastener work where lower-drive sockets lack the torque capacity required.

This socket is suited for commercial and industrial applications where large fasteners are common, including heavy truck service, construction equipment maintenance, and industrial machinery repair. The 1-inch drive interface matches high-output pneumatic and hydraulic impact wrenches standard in fleet shops and field service operations. The 6-point design reduces fastener rounding under high torque loads compared to 12-point alternatives, making it a preferred choice when working with worn or heavily torqued hardware.

Key Features

• 1-inch drive size compatible with heavy-duty pneumatic and hydraulic impact wrenches
• 2-3/4-inch socket size for large industrial and heavy-vehicle fasteners
• 6-point hex geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• 5-inch overall length provides reach in recessed or deep-set bolt applications
• Heavyweight construction at 7.69 pounds reflects full-duty impact-grade build

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed mechanics, millwrights, or heavy-equipment technicians using a 1-inch drive impact wrench. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and never use impact sockets with standard ratchets or torque wrenches not rated for impact loads. Follow applicable service manual torque specifications for the fastener being serviced.
