Proto J15037 Impact Socket 1-1/2 in Drive 2-5/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J15037 is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade environments. Built around a 1-1/2 inch drive, this socket accepts 2-5/16 inch hex fasteners and features a 6-point contact design that distributes torque evenly across the flat faces of the fastener, reducing the risk of rounding. The overall length measures 3-7/8 inches. At 7.96 pounds, this is a substantial, purpose-built tool suited for use with large pneumatic or hydraulic impact wrenches. Licensed tradespeople and industrial mechanics rely on this socket for structural, heavy equipment, and machinery work.

This socket is appropriate for applications where large hex fasteners require controlled, high-torque removal or installation. Common use scenarios include heavy equipment maintenance, structural steel assembly, industrial machinery service, and fleet maintenance shops. The 1-1/2 inch drive size places this socket in the large-drive category, typically paired with industrial-grade impact wrenches in demanding service environments.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch drive for use with large-drive impact wrenches
• 2-5/16 inch socket size for hex fasteners
• 6-point geometry maximizes contact on fastener flats, reducing fastener damage under high torque
• 3-7/8 inch overall length provides clearance in standard service applications
• Heavy construction rated for impact use, not hand-tool ratchets

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches in industrial and heavy-duty service applications. Compatible with 2-5/16 inch 6-point hex fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is rated for impact use only and should not be used with standard hand-tool ratchets or breaker bars unless those tools are rated for the drive size. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and the drive retainer or pin-and-ring is secured before applying torque. Disengage and lock out the pneumatic or hydraulic power source before changing sockets or inspecting fasteners. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
