Proto J4707 Hand Socket 7/32 Inch 6-point 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4707 is a 7/32 inch, 6-point hand socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers corrosion resistance and durability in shop and field environments. The standard-length body measures 7/8 inch overall and weighs 0.02 pounds. The 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs, making it a reliable choice for hex fasteners in tight or corroded conditions. Technicians across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades reach for sockets like this when working with small-diameter fasteners on equipment panels, brackets, and terminal covers.

This socket is suited for light-duty hand-tool applications requiring a 1/4 inch drive in residential and commercial service environments. The 7/32 inch size covers small hex fasteners commonly found on equipment enclosures, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies. It is intended for manual ratchet use and is not rated for impact applications. The socket meets ASME B107.5 standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional-grade hand tools.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers working with hand-drive ratchets. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off mechanical systems before accessing fasteners on panels or covers. Do not use this socket with impact drivers or pneumatic tools. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if the drive or socket opening shows visible damage.
