Proto J15026 Impact Socket 1-1/2 in Drive 1-5/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J15026 is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade environments. Built on a 1-1/2 inch drive, this 6-point hex socket fits 1-5/8 inch fasteners and delivers the wall thickness and steel construction required to handle impact wrench output without cracking or rounding. At 3-1/8 inches overall length, it provides a compact profile suitable for tight-clearance work. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and heavy equipment technicians are the primary users of drive tools at this size class.

This socket is suited for heavy industrial maintenance, large-bore mechanical assembly, structural fastening, and equipment overhaul tasks where 1-1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. Applications include industrial presses, large compressors, heavy-duty HVAC and refrigeration equipment, pumps, and similar capital equipment where large hex fasteners are common. The 6-point design concentrates drive force on the flat faces of the fastener, reducing the risk of fastener damage during impact operation.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch drive size for use with industrial-class impact wrenches and drive sets
• 1-5/8 inch socket size fits correspondingly sized hex fasteners
• 6-point hex drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• 3-1/8 inch overall length provides a compact profile for accessible fastener engagement
• Designed to withstand repeated impact wrench use in industrial service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and manual drive tools requiring a 1-5/8 inch 6-point hex socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrench or breaker bar rated for the fastener torque specification of the equipment being serviced. Always power down or de-energize the equipment and relieve any pressure before beginning fastener service. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and equipment service documentation for torque requirements.
