Proto J4709T Hand Socket 9/32 in 12-point 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4709T is a 9/32-inch, 12-point hand socket designed for use with a 1/4-inch drive ratchet or handle. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this standard-length socket measures 7/8 inches overall in length. The 12-point design allows engagement from multiple positions, making it useful in confined or awkward fastener access situations. It meets ASME B107.110-2012 and AS4984A standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional-grade hand tool use. At 0.02 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any socket set. This socket is suited for mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who need precise, low-torque fastener work in tight spaces.

The PROTO J4709T is used wherever a 9/32-inch fastener requires a 1/4-inch drive tool. This size is common in light-duty mechanical assemblies, control panel hardware, and equipment access panels encountered in residential and light commercial service work. The standard length profile fits in shallow recesses where deep sockets are unnecessary. This socket is intended for hand-drive use only and is not rated for impact tool applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by a qualified mechanic or service technician as part of routine fastener work. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive tool and fastener before applying torque. This is a hand-drive socket only — do not use with impact drivers or pneumatic tools. Keep the chrome finish clean and dry to maintain corrosion resistance and long service life.
