Proto J10046L Impact Socket 1 in Drive 2-7/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10046L is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches in professional trade and industrial applications. Built from alloy steel, it features a 6-point hex drive design that delivers full contact with fastener flats, reducing rounding under high-torque conditions. The socket measures 2-7/8 inches across and has an overall length of 5 inches. Licensed tradespeople and industrial mechanics reach for this socket when working on large fasteners that require controlled, high-torque removal or installation, particularly in HVAC equipment rigging, heavy mechanical assemblies, and structural fastener work.

The J10046L is suited for demanding environments where standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact use. Its 1-inch square drive fits full-size pneumatic and hydraulic impact wrenches commonly found in commercial HVAC, industrial plumbing, and heavy equipment service. The 6-point geometry and alloy steel construction make it appropriate for high-cycle shop use as well as field service work on large mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 1-inch square drive compatible with full-size impact wrenches
• 6-point hex drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 2-7/8 inch socket size for large fastener applications
• 5-inch overall length provides clearance in deep or recessed fastener locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1-inch drive pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric impact wrenches in professional trade and industrial service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of large fasteners using this socket should be performed by qualified mechanics or licensed tradespeople familiar with impact tool operation. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and the drive is fully engaged in the impact wrench anvil before applying torque. Disconnect or de-energize equipment before servicing fasteners on live systems. Do not use impact sockets with hand ratchets or torque wrenches, as they are not designed for torsional hand-tool loads.
