Proto J4709LT Deep Hand Socket 9/32 in 12-pt 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4709LT is a deep hand socket designed for manual drive applications requiring reach and precision. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this socket accepts a 1/4 inch drive and fits 9/32 inch fasteners. The 12-point configuration allows engagement from multiple angles, making it useful in confined spaces where swing arc is limited. At 2 inches in overall length, the deep profile provides clearance for recessed or protruding fastener heads. This socket is intended for use by mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and other tradespeople working with 9/32 inch hardware in tight or deep-access locations.

This socket is suited for both residential and light commercial service work. It fits into tool sets requiring 1/4 inch drive deep sockets for small fastener sizes common in electrical panels, HVAC equipment, and general mechanical assemblies. The deep length accommodates fasteners on extended studs or in recessed bores where standard-length sockets cannot achieve full engagement. The 12-point design works with standard hex fasteners and provides multiple contact positions for reduced ratchet swing.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. This item is not tether capable and should be secured appropriately when working at elevation or in drop-sensitive environments. Inspect the socket and drive tool for wear or cracking before each use.
