Proto J4706LTM Deep Hand Socket 6mm 12-point 1/4 Dr

Product Description

The PROTO J4706LTM is a deep hand socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. It features a 6 mm opening with a 12-point configuration, allowing engagement on both hex and double-hex fasteners from multiple angles. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, the socket resists corrosion and cleans easily in shop environments. At 1-63/64 inches in overall length, the deep profile reaches recessed fasteners, studs, and nuts that standard-depth sockets cannot access. Meets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 standards for socket wrenches.

This socket suits automotive, mechanical, and light industrial applications where recessed or deeply set 6 mm fasteners are common. It is sized for 1/4 inch drive tooling, making it a practical fit for precision and close-quarters work. Licensed tradespeople, mechanics, and service technicians reach for deep sockets when fasteners sit below a surface or behind obstructions. The chrome finish makes it easy to identify and wipe clean at the end of a job.

Installation Notes

Seat the socket fully onto the drive before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive tang or fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before use, especially after high-torque events. This socket is not rated for impact drivers or pneumatic tools unless explicitly specified. Tether-style retention is not available on this model, so exercise care in overhead or elevated work environments.
