Proto J4710MN 10mm 12-point 1/4 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J4710MN is a 10 mm, 12-point hand socket designed for 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Manufactured from steel with a chrome-plated finish, this standard-length socket measures 1-17/64 inches overall. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at 30-degree increments, making it useful in tight or restricted fastener access situations. It meets AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS955 standards, confirming it is built to recognized dimensional and performance requirements. Mechanical technicians, HVAC service techs, and general trade professionals will find this socket appropriate for fastener work on light mechanical assemblies and equipment panels.

This socket is suited for use in residential and commercial service environments where 10 mm fasteners are common. Typical applications include equipment access panel removal, control board mounting hardware, motor mounting bolts, and general light-duty mechanical fastener work. The 1/4 inch drive sizing makes it compatible with compact ratchet sets, which are standard kit for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service work. The standard length profile fits most open fastener locations without requiring extensions.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade professionals. Always ensure the drive ratchet or wrench is rated for the torque required by the fastener application. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is impact-rated. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
