Proto J15046 Impact Socket 1-1/2 in Drive 2-7/8 in 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J15046 is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade environments. Built for 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, it accepts 2-7/8 inch hex fasteners and features a 6-point contact geometry that distributes torque evenly across fastener flats. With an overall length of 4-1/2 inches, this socket provides the reach needed for recessed or flanged fastener locations. Typically installed by millwrights, heavy equipment mechanics, and industrial maintenance technicians, the J15046 handles demanding work where standard chrome sockets are not rated.

This socket is suited for heavy industrial applications including equipment assembly, structural fastening, and maintenance work on large machinery, fleet vehicles, and infrastructure components. The 1-1/2 inch drive size is common in heavy construction, mining, and industrial manufacturing environments. Its 6-point design is preferred when working with worn or tight fasteners because it reduces the risk of rounding. At 4-1/2 inches overall length, it fits standard 1-1/2 inch drive impact guns and torque multipliers commonly used in the field.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch drive size for use with heavy-duty impact wrenches and torque multipliers
• 2-7/8 inch hex socket size for large industrial fasteners
• 6-point drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• 4-1/2 inch overall length provides reach for recessed fastener applications
• Impact-rated construction suitable for pneumatic and hydraulic impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, torque multipliers, and manual drive tools rated for that drive size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanics, millwrights, or industrial maintenance technicians. Ensure the impact wrench or torque tool is rated for the 1-1/2 inch drive before use. Always confirm the fastener size matches the 2-7/8 inch socket opening before applying torque to avoid socket or fastener damage. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-drive ratchets not rated for impact service.
