Proto J4706MN 6 Mm 12-point Hand Socket 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4706MN is a 6 mm, 12-point intermediate hand socket designed for 1/4-inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Manufactured from polished steel, this standard-length socket measures 1-17/64 inches overall and weighs 0.156 pounds. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, making it useful in tight or partially obstructed fastener access situations. It meets ASME B107.21 standards and carries a lifetime warranty. Technicians in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades will find this socket suitable for metric fastener work on equipment panels, brackets, and hardware where a 6 mm fastener is specified.

This socket is intended for hand-tool use on metric fasteners across a range of light-duty to moderate service applications. The 1/4-inch drive size makes it well suited for compact ratchets used in confined spaces such as control enclosures, electrical panels, and equipment access points. The polished steel finish resists corrosion under normal shop and field conditions. It is packaged and sold individually and is compatible with standard 1/4-inch drive accessories.

Installation Notes

This socket is a hand-tool accessory installed by technicians across mechanical trades. Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque. Do not use impact drivers or pneumatic tools with this hand socket. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if wear is present.
