Proto J4710DPL Spline Socket 1/4 in Drive Deep 12 Point

Product Description

The PROTO J4710DPL is a deep spline socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and torque wrenches. It features a 10 spline, 5/16 inch hex size with 12 points of contact, making it well suited for fasteners in tight or recessed locations where a standard-depth socket cannot reach. The deep well profile provides additional clearance over protruding studs and extended bolt threads. This socket is a common hand tool in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical service work where precision fastener engagement is required.

This socket fits 1/4 inch drive tool sets and is appropriate for residential and light commercial service applications. The deep profile is particularly useful when working in confined spaces such as equipment cabinets, access panels, and mechanical chases. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors will find this socket useful for service calls and equipment installations requiring a 5/16 inch hex fastener drive.

Key Features

• Deep socket profile for clearance over studs and extended fastener threads
• 10 spline, 5/16 inch hex size for secure fastener engagement
• 12-point contact design for compatibility with standard hex fasteners
• 1/4 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• Compact, lightweight build at 0.06 pounds for easy carry in a service bag

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement deep spline socket for 1/4 inch drive tool sets using 5/16 inch hex fasteners across trade and mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a compatible 1/4 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. When working on energized electrical or pressurized systems, de-energize or depressurize the equipment before using hand tools on fasteners. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
