Proto J10080M Impact Socket 1 in Drive 80mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J10080M is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal applications. It features a 1 inch square drive and accepts an 80mm hex fastener using a 6-point contact geometry that reduces fastener rounding under load. Constructed from alloy steel, the socket is built to handle the shock loads produced by pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric impact wrenches. With an overall length of 4 inches, it provides adequate clearance for most industrial and heavy-equipment fastening tasks. Licensed tradespeople working in heavy vehicle, industrial, or equipment maintenance applications are the primary users of this tool.

The J10080M is suited for heavy-duty mechanical work where large-diameter hex fasteners must be driven or removed under significant torque. Typical applications include drivetrain service, large equipment assembly, and industrial maintenance where 80mm hex fasteners are standard. The 6-point socket design concentrates force on the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, making it effective when working with fasteners that may already show wear. This socket meets ASME B107.33M standards, confirming it is manufactured to established dimensional and performance requirements for impact-rated hand tools.

Key Features

• 1 inch square drive fits standard heavy-duty impact wrenches and drive extensions
• 80mm hex socket size for large-diameter fastener applications
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under high-torque impact use
• Alloy steel construction withstands repeated shock loading from impact tools
• Meets ASME B107.33M dimensional and performance standards for impact sockets
• 4 inch overall length provides clearance in tight or recessed fastener locations

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1 inch drive impact wrenches and drive accessories rated for heavy-duty service. Consult tool manufacturer specifications to confirm drive compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

This socket should be installed and used only with impact-rated drive tools and accessories. Never use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets or torque wrenches, as the shock loads can cause unexpected tool failure. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is found. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when performing high-torque fastening operations.
