Proto J15050 Impact Socket 1-1/2 in Drive 3-1/8 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J15050 is a heavy-duty impact socket designed for high-torque applications where a standard hand-tool socket would fail. Built around a 1-1/2 inch drive, it accepts 3-1/8 inch hex fasteners and features a 6-point contact geometry that concentrates force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners. Overall length is 4-5/8 inches. At 12.42 pounds, this is a substantial tool suited to industrial and heavy-equipment service work. It is installed and used by licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians working with large-format fasteners.

This socket is intended for use with 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches in applications involving large hex fasteners found on heavy machinery, structural assemblies, industrial equipment, and similar high-torque environments. The 6-point hex drive design makes it appropriate for hex-head bolts and nuts in situations where pneumatic or hydraulic impact drivers are the standard method of fastener removal and installation. It is not intended for use with standard ratchet handles in continuous high-cycle applications.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch drive size for use with heavy-duty impact wrenches
• 3-1/8 inch socket size fits large hex fasteners
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Hex drive style for direct engagement on hex-head bolts and nuts
• 4-5/8 inch overall length provides clearance in recessed fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit socket for 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches used in heavy industrial and equipment service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by qualified mechanics and industrial maintenance technicians. Always verify that the drive size of the socket matches the anvil size of the impact wrench before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove it from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet tools, and do not use hand-tool sockets with impact drivers.
