Proto JRR10036 Socket Retaining Ring 1 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO JRR10036 is a socket retaining ring designed for use with 1 inch drive sockets. It seats into the groove of a socket to secure the socket on a drive tool, preventing accidental release during torque application. The ring measures 2.46 inches in outer diameter with a groove diameter of 2.25 inches and a height of 0.21 inches. At 0.02 pounds, it is a lightweight but functionally critical component. This type of retaining ring is a standard wear item replaced by mechanics, industrial technicians, and tool repair specialists working with heavy-duty drive socket sets.

This retaining ring is suited for 1 inch drive tool applications found in heavy equipment maintenance, fleet service, industrial assembly, and similar environments where large-drive socket sets are in regular use. It fits into the retaining groove on the socket body to keep the drive connection secure during operation. Replacement is straightforward and typically required when the original ring becomes deformed, cracked, or loses tension from repeated use.
