Proto J4705MN Hand Socket 5mm 12-point 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4705MN is a 5 mm, 12-point hand socket designed for precision fastener work in mechanical, industrial, and trade service environments. Built from steel with a chrome-plated finish, it fits a 1/4 inch drive and measures 1-17/64 inches in overall length, classifying it as a standard-length socket. The 12-point configuration allows engagement from more positions around a fastener head, which is useful in tight or awkward spaces. Licensed tradespeople and professional technicians working on equipment with metric fasteners will find this socket well-suited to tasks requiring control and accuracy in confined areas.

This socket is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial service work wherever 5 mm metric fasteners are encountered. Typical applications include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture hardware, and general mechanical assembly or disassembly. The 1/4 inch drive size makes it compatible with standard ratchet handles, extensions, and drive accessories commonly carried in field service kits. It is rated to ASME B107.110-2012, AS4984A, and SAE AS955 standards, which makes it suitable for professional service environments where tool certification matters.
