Proto J7446 Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 1-7/16 in 12-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7446 is a 12-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. The socket measures 1-7/16 inches across the opening and has an overall length of 2-15/64 inches. Built for the torque and shock loads generated by pneumatic and cordless impact tools, it handles fastener removal and installation in demanding service environments. Weighing 0.8 pounds, it is sized for professional use on heavy-duty fasteners found in mechanical, industrial, and construction applications. Licensed tradespeople and service technicians are the primary users of this tool.

The J7446 fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact guns, air ratchets, and hand ratchets. Its 12-point geometry provides multiple engagement positions, which is useful when working in confined spaces where socket rotation is limited. The 1-7/16 inch size is common on structural fasteners, heavy equipment, and certain automotive and fleet applications. This socket is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool is powered off or depressurized before attaching or removing the socket. Verify the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and retire any socket showing visible damage. Do not use impact sockets on torque-sensitive fasteners without a calibrated torque wrench as the final step.
