Proto J10052 Impact Socket 1 in Drive 3-1/4 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10052 is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal applications in industrial, mechanical, and maintenance environments. Built on a 1 inch drive, it accepts 3-1/4 inch hex fasteners and features a 6-point contact geometry that concentrates force on the flat faces of a fastener rather than the corners. This design reduces rounding and increases grip during impact use. At 4-3/8 inches overall length, the socket provides adequate reach for recessed or flanged fastener applications. Licensed trades and industrial mechanics are the primary installers of this tool class.

The J10052 is suited for heavy equipment repair, fleet maintenance, industrial assembly lines, and large-diameter fastener work where 1 inch drive impact wrenches are standard. The 3-1/4 inch socket size is common in applications involving large bolts on agricultural equipment, construction machinery, mining equipment, and structural assemblies. The 6-point hex profile makes it appropriate for standard hex-head fasteners in these demanding service environments.

Key Features

• 1 inch drive for use with full-size industrial impact wrenches
• 3-1/4 inch socket size for large hex fasteners
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact load
• 4-3/8 inch overall length provides reach into recessed fastener positions
• Hex drive style for compatibility with standard hex-head hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit impact socket for 1 inch drive industrial impact wrenches accepting 6-point hex sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of impact sockets of this size class is typically performed by licensed mechanics, millwrights, or industrial maintenance technicians. Always verify the drive size of the impact wrench matches the 1 inch square drive of this socket before use. Never use impact sockets with hand-drive ratchets, as impact sockets are manufactured to different material tolerances than hand-drive sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.
