Proto J07538MT Impact Socket 3/4 in Drive 38mm 12-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J07538MT is a 12-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in professional trade and industrial environments. Built from alloy steel, this socket accepts a 3/4 inch drive and fits 38mm fasteners with an overall length of 2.25 inches. The 12-point configuration allows engagement from multiple positions, which is useful in tight or awkward access situations. It is sized and constructed for use with impact wrenches and air-driven tools in automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance settings. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians rely on impact-rated sockets like this one to handle the torque output that standard chrome sockets cannot safely absorb.

This socket is suited for automotive repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, construction equipment servicing, and industrial assembly lines where 38mm fasteners are common. The 3/4 inch drive sizing places it in the heavy-duty range, making it appropriate for large bolts and nuts found on axles, suspension components, heavy machinery, and structural assemblies. Its compact 2.25 inch overall length helps in applications where socket depth is a constraint.

Key Features

• 3/4 inch drive size for high-torque impact wrench compatibility
• 38mm socket size for metric fastener applications
• 12-point design allows multiple engagement positions for restricted access
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 2.25 inch overall length for space-conscious installations
• Weighs 1.56 pounds for a solid, durable build

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 3/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets in professional and industrial applications requiring a 38mm, 12-point socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified mechanics and industrial maintenance technicians with appropriate impact drive equipment. Always verify that the drive tool and socket are both rated for impact use before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and retire any socket showing visible wear or damage. Do not use impact sockets with hand ratchets as the primary torque method in applications where precise torque values are required without a calibrated torque wrench.
