Proto J4711M 6-point Hand Socket 11mm 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4711M is a 6-point hand socket designed for precise, controlled fastener work in professional hand-tool applications. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this 11 mm socket uses a 1/4 inch drive and measures 7/8 inch in overall length, making it a compact standard-length socket suited for tight-access work. The 6-point geometry distributes torque evenly across fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding hardware under load. Mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians rely on this size for equipment panels, access covers, and component fasteners encountered in day-to-day service work.

This socket is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service environments where a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or handle is the tool of choice. Its standard length profile fits most open service areas and equipment enclosures. The 11 mm size is a common metric fastener dimension found on HVAC equipment, electrical panels, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies. Packaged as a single unit, it integrates easily into an existing socket set or serves as a direct replacement for a worn or lost socket of the same specification.

Key Features

• 11 mm socket size for common metric fastener applications
• 6-point design reduces fastener rounding under torque load
• 1/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions
• Alloy steel construction for durability in trade service use
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Meets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-length 1/4 inch drive hand socket compatible with 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and handles following ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4 inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, or handle. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage. Inspect the socket and drive square for wear or damage before use on critical fasteners. This tool does not require power isolation on its own, but always follow appropriate lockout/tagout procedures when servicing energized or pressurized equipment.
