Proto J4711TM 11mm 12-point 1/4 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J4711TM is an 11 mm, 12-point hand socket built for 1/4-inch drive ratchets and extensions. It carries a chrome-plated finish that resists corrosion and makes cleaning grease and grime straightforward between jobs. Standard length design keeps it compatible with typical 1/4-inch drive setups used in tight-access fastener work. At 0.05 pounds, it adds minimal weight to a socket roll. Mechanics, HVAC techs, electricians, and plumbers who routinely work metric fasteners on panels, equipment covers, and component brackets will find this a reliable addition to a 1/4-inch drive set.

This socket is suited for light-duty to medium-duty applications where 11 mm metric fasteners are common. Typical use cases include equipment panel removal, electrical enclosure access, HVAC component service, and general mechanical work on residential and light commercial systems. The 12-point design allows engagement at more ratchet positions in confined spaces, which is useful when swing arc is limited.

Key Features

• 11 mm socket size fits standard metric fasteners
• 12-point configuration allows more ratchet engagement positions in tight spaces
• 1/4-inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and flex heads
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup
• Standard length profile suits most general-purpose socket drive setups
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds — minimal addition to a portable tool kit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch drive hand socket compatible with 1/4-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters that accept 12-point metric sockets.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using an appropriate 1/4-inch drive ratchet or torque wrench rated for the fastener specification. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace any damaged tooling immediately.
