Proto J4710T Hand Socket 5/16 in 12-point 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4710T is a 5/16 inch, 12-point hand socket designed for general mechanical and trade work. It accepts a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or extension and features a chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. At standard length, it fits comfortably in tight engine bays, equipment panels, and service areas where compact tooling is required. This socket is suited for use by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanics who need a reliable, everyday drive socket in their kit.

The J4710T is intended for hand-tool use in residential and light commercial service applications. Its 12-point geometry allows engagement from multiple angles, which is useful when working in confined spaces with limited swing arc. Standard length keeps it compatible with most 1/4 inch drive handles, ratchets, and extensions already in a service kit.
