Proto J10054M Impact Socket 1 in Drive 54mm

Product Description

The PROTO J10054M is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal applications. Built from alloy steel, this socket features a 1 inch square drive and fits 54mm hex fasteners using a 6-point contact pattern. The 6-point design concentrates force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under load. With an overall length of 3 inches, it provides adequate clearance for most industrial and automotive applications. Licensed trades and equipment mechanics rely on this socket with pneumatic and hydraulic impact wrenches where standard hand-tool sockets would fail under the rotational shock loads involved.

This socket is suited for heavy equipment maintenance, truck and fleet service, industrial machinery repair, and structural fastener work where large-diameter metric hex fasteners are common. The 54mm size is frequently encountered on axle nuts, large hydraulic fittings, and machinery mounting hardware. At 3.33 pounds, it is a solid, full-mass socket built for professional tool sets rather than occasional-use kits. It meets ASME B107.33M specifications, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional-grade impact tooling.

Key Features

• 1 inch square drive accepts standard heavy-duty impact wrenches
• 54mm hex socket size for large metric fasteners
• 6-point drive style reduces fastener rounding under impact loads
• Alloy steel construction for impact-rated strength and durability
• 3 inch overall length suits most clearance-restricted applications
• Meets ASME B107.33M specification for impact socket performance
• Covered by a limited lifetime warranty

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1 inch drive pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric impact wrenches. Fits 54mm hex fasteners. Conforms to ASME B107.33M dimensional standards for impact sockets.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trades professional familiar with impact tooling. Always power down or de-energize equipment and relieve hydraulic pressure before breaking fasteners on live machinery. Verify that the drive pin and retaining ring are fully seated before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet torque wrenches, as impact-rated and hand-tool drive components are not interchangeable under high-load conditions.
