Proto J07538MLT Impact Socket 3/4 in Drive 38mm

Product Description

The PROTO J07538MLT is a 12-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in professional trade and industrial settings. Built from chrome-finished steel, it accepts a 3/4 inch drive and fits a 38mm fastener. The overall length of 3.5 inches provides adequate reach for standard bolt and nut applications. This socket is engineered to handle the high-torque output of pneumatic and electric impact wrenches, making it a dependable choice for automotive, mechanical, and industrial technicians who need consistent performance under repeated impact loads.

This socket is suited for use in automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, fleet service, and industrial assembly operations where 38mm fasteners are encountered. The 12-point design allows for more engagement positions around the fastener, which is useful in tight-clearance situations. It is appropriate for both shop and field use by mechanics, millwrights, and other tradespeople working with large-diameter fasteners on drivetrain components, suspension assemblies, and structural hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service socket compatible with standard 3/4 inch square drive impact wrenches and ratchets.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with impact tooling. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is found. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when operating impact tools.
