Proto J15068 Impact Socket 1-1/2 in Drive 4-1/4 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J15068 is a heavy-duty impact socket built for high-torque fastening applications where a standard chrome socket would fail. It features a 1-1/2 inch drive, a 4-1/4 inch hex socket opening, and a 6-point contact design that grips fastener flats rather than corners. The overall length is 5-3/4 inches. At 27.05 pounds, this is a substantial tool intended for industrial and heavy equipment work. The 6-point geometry reduces the risk of rounding fasteners under extreme torque loads, making it a reliable choice when working with large-diameter hex fasteners.

This socket is suited for use in industrial maintenance, heavy equipment repair, and large-scale mechanical assembly where a 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrench is the primary tool. Typical applications include structural bolting, drivetrain service on heavy trucks and construction equipment, and large-flange fastening in plant maintenance environments. A licensed mechanic or industrial maintenance technician is the typical end user for this class of socket.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch drive size for compatibility with large industrial impact wrenches
• 4-1/4 inch hex socket opening handles large-diameter fasteners
• 6-point contact design reduces corner rounding under high torque
• 5-3/4 inch overall length provides clearance in recessed fastener applications
• Built to impact-rated standards for use with pneumatic and hydraulic drive tools

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1-1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and torque multipliers in industrial and heavy equipment service applications.

Installation Notes

Always power down or de-energize equipment and relieve any stored pressure or tension before loosening or torquing fasteners. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the fastener before applying impact force. Impact sockets are not interchangeable with standard chrome hand-tool sockets under impact loads. Follow applicable ASME and OSHA fastener torquing guidelines for the specific application.
