Proto J15041 Impact Socket 1-1/2 in Drive 2-9/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J15041 is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and construction environments. Built on a 1-1/2 inch drive, it accepts a 2-9/16 inch hex fastener with a 6-point contact pattern that distributes torque evenly across fastener flats. The overall length measures 4 inches. The 6-point geometry reduces the risk of fastener rounding under impact load, making it the correct choice when working with large-diameter bolts and nuts at full impact power. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and heavy equipment technicians are the primary installers of this socket class.

This socket is suited for heavy equipment maintenance, large-frame machinery assembly, structural bolting, and fleet service operations where 1-1/2 inch drive tooling is standard. Typical applications include axle work, frame fasteners, industrial equipment assembly, and utility vehicle service. The 2-9/16 inch size is commonly encountered on heavy truck, agricultural, and off-highway equipment fastener patterns. It is designed for use with 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and breaker bars rated for high-torque output.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch drive size for high-torque impact applications
• 2-9/16 inch 6-point hex socket for positive fastener engagement
• 6-point design minimizes rounding on large hex fasteners under impact load
• 4 inch overall length provides clearance for recessed or obstructed fastener locations
• Built for use with impact wrenches in industrial and heavy equipment service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and breaker bars in heavy-duty mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed mechanics, millwrights, and heavy equipment technicians using 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches or manual breaker bars. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque demands of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and retire any socket that shows visible damage. Never use impact sockets on hand-tool ratchets not rated for impact loads.
