Proto J4710LTM Deep Hand Socket 10 Mm 12-point 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4710LTM is a deep hand socket designed for 10 mm fasteners in tight or recessed applications where a standard-depth socket cannot reach. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this socket features a 12-point design that engages hex and double-hex fasteners with a secure grip. The 1/4 inch drive fits compact ratchets and extensions commonly used in automotive, HVAC, and light mechanical work. At just under 2 inches in overall length, it gives technicians the reach they need without sacrificing control in confined spaces.

This socket is suited for professional use on equipment where 10 mm fasteners appear in deep or recessed bores. Common applications include automotive underhood work, panel and bracket fastening in HVAC systems, electrical enclosure assembly, and general mechanical maintenance. The 12-point configuration allows entry at multiple angles, which is practical when fastener access is limited. It is intended for hand-tool use with a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench.

Key Features

• 10 mm socket size for common metric fasteners in automotive and mechanical applications
• 12-point design allows multiple engagement angles in tight access areas
• Deep length profile reaches recessed or tall fasteners standard sockets cannot access
• 1/4 inch drive compatible with compact ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• Alloy steel construction with chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• Meets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches that accept standard square-drive sockets. Fits any application requiring a deep 10 mm metric socket on a 1/4 inch drive system.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the fastener or damaging the socket. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket and drive square for wear or cracking before each use. Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener and application per manufacturer or service manual guidance.
