Proto J4711T 11/32 in 1/4 Drive 12-point Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J4711T is a 12-point hand socket designed for use with 1/4-inch drive ratchets and extensions. It accepts an 11/32-inch fastener and features a standard-length profile with a chrome-plated finish. The 12-point geometry engages hex fasteners at 30-degree intervals, which allows more swing clearance in tight spaces compared to a 6-point socket. This socket is built for professional tradespeople including HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics who require precise, durable hand tools for service and installation work.

This socket is suited for light to medium fastener work on equipment panels, valve assemblies, electrical enclosures, and mechanical components where an 11/32-inch fastener is common. The standard-length body fits most 1/4-inch drive ratchets, thumb wheels, and T-handles used in trade and production environments. The chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning after use in field or shop conditions.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners by hand using a compatible 1/4-inch drive ratchet or handle. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on critical fasteners. This tool requires no special certifications to use but should be operated within the rated drive size limits.
