Proto J10045 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 2-13/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10045 is a 1-inch drive, 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in demanding trade environments. Built with a hex drive style, it accepts a 2-13/16 inch fastener and measures 3-13/16 inches overall length. The 6-point contact geometry concentrates force on the flats of a fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact loading. At just under 6 pounds, this socket is built for service-grade durability. It is suited for industrial maintenance, mechanical contractors, and professional trades requiring reliable high-torque drive tools.

The J10045 fits standard 1-inch square drive impact wrenches and is appropriate for applications involving large fasteners on heavy equipment, structural assemblies, pipework flanges, and industrial machinery. The 6-point design is particularly well-suited for use with impact drivers where torque loads are high and fastener condition may be degraded. Trades including pipefitters, ironworkers, millwrights, and heavy equipment mechanics will find this socket appropriate for their standard drive sets.

Key Features

• 1-inch square drive for compatibility with heavy-duty impact wrenches
• 2-13/16 inch socket size for large hex fasteners
• 6-point drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact torque
• 3-13/16 inch overall length provides reach in standard access conditions
• Rated for impact use, not hand-tool-only service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition to 1-inch drive impact socket sets used in industrial and heavy mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches only. Always confirm the drive tool and socket are rated for impact use before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and do not use hand-socket-rated tools in place of impact-rated sockets. Follow applicable workplace safety and tool-use standards when operating high-torque impact equipment.
