Proto J10046ML Impact Socket 1 in Drive 46mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10046ML is a 1-inch drive, 46mm impact socket designed for high-torque applications in professional trade environments. Built from alloy steel, this 6-point hex drive socket delivers reliable engagement on fasteners under heavy load. The 6-point geometry reduces slippage and distributes force evenly across fastener flats, minimizing rounding of hardware. At 4.125 inches overall length, it provides the clearance needed for deep or recessed fasteners. This socket is intended for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches and is installed by mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and heavy equipment service professionals.

The J10046ML is suited for heavy-duty mechanical, industrial, and fleet maintenance applications where 46mm fasteners are encountered. Common scenarios include drivetrain service, frame and suspension work, industrial machinery maintenance, and large-diameter fastener removal or installation. Its alloy steel construction handles the high-torque output of pneumatic and electric impact wrenches without cracking or deforming under repetitive use.

Key Features

• 46mm socket size accommodates large hex fasteners common in heavy equipment and industrial work
• 6-point hex drive design reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 4.125 inches overall length provides reach for recessed fastener positions
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit impact socket for use with standard 1-inch square drive impact wrenches and torque multipliers in professional shop and field service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by qualified mechanics or maintenance technicians familiar with impact tooling. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and retaining pin before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets with hand ratchets or torque wrenches, as impact-rated tools are engineered specifically for the shock loads produced by impact drivers.
