Proto J4708S Hand Socket 1/4 in Drive 8-point Chrome

Product Description

The PROTO J4708S is a 1/4 inch drive, 1/4 inch hand socket designed for precision fastener work in tight or confined spaces. The 8-point geometry provides positive engagement on square-drive fasteners and select specialty hardware. A chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use. Standard length proportions make this socket compatible with most 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters. Technicians across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades reach for a socket this size when working on panel fasteners, access covers, and equipment housings where a compact drive is the right tool for the job.

The J4708S is suited for light-duty hand-tool applications in both residential and commercial service environments. It fits standard 1/4 inch drive tool sets and is a practical addition to a technician's socket collection when 8-point drive capability is needed. This socket is sold individually, making it a straightforward replacement for a lost or worn piece without requiring a full set purchase.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for hand-tool use only with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or handle. Do not use with impact drivers or pneumatic tools unless the socket is rated for impact service. Verify fastener head geometry before applying torque to avoid rounding. Store in a dry location to preserve the chrome finish.
