Proto J10050 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 3-1/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10050 is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for use with 1-inch drive impact wrenches. Built as a 6-point hex drive socket, it accepts a 3-1/8 inch fastener and measures 4-1/16 inches overall length. The 6-point contact geometry distributes torque evenly across fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact loads. This socket is intended for professional use in automotive, heavy equipment, construction, and industrial maintenance applications where a 1-inch drive impact tool is required. Mechanics, millwrights, and heavy-equipment technicians are the primary installers.

This socket is suited for high-torque applications involving large fasteners commonly found on heavy trucks, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and structural assemblies. The 1-inch drive size places it in the category of large-format impact tooling used when standard 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch drive sockets lack the torque capacity for the job. It is a single-piece socket used in both shop and field service environments.

Key Features

• 1-inch square drive compatible with standard 1-inch drive impact wrenches
• 3-1/8 inch socket size for large hex fasteners
• 6-point hex drive design for maximum contact and reduced fastener rounding
• 4-1/16 inch overall length provides reach in recessed fastener applications
• Weighs 6.94 pounds, indicating robust wall thickness for impact-rated use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use impact socket compatible with 1-inch square drive impact wrenches and torque multipliers in professional trade and industrial service settings.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1-inch drive impact wrench or torque multiplier rated for the fastener torque specification. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets, as impact-rated and hand-tool-rated sockets have different metallurgical properties. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and retire any damaged socket from service immediately.
