Proto J4705LTM Deep Hand Socket 5 Mm 12-point

Product Description

The PROTO J4705LTM is a 5 mm deep hand socket designed for precise fastener work in tight or recessed locations. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it features a 12-point configuration that improves contact with hex fasteners and reduces the chance of rounding. The 1/4 inch drive connection keeps it compatible with compact ratchets and extensions used in light mechanical and assembly applications. At just under 2 inches in overall length, the deep profile reaches fasteners that standard-length sockets cannot access. This socket meets ASME B107.110-2012 and AS4984A standards, making it appropriate for professional hand-tool use in automotive, HVAC, and general mechanical service work.

The J4705LTM fits into toolkits used by HVAC technicians, automotive mechanics, and general maintenance professionals who frequently encounter recessed metric fasteners. The 5 mm size is common on equipment panels, control board mounting hardware, and small-component assemblies. The deep length is especially useful when a bolt stud extends beyond the fastener face or when working inside equipment enclosures where clearance is limited. The chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning in shop environments.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this socket by hand onto a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension before applying torque to the fastener. Verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before turning to avoid slippage. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if wear is visible.
