Built from alloy steel with a chrome finish, this socket accepts a 1\/4 inch drive and is sized for 3\/8 inch fasteners. The deep length profile — 2 inches overall — allows techs to reach recessed bolts and nuts that standard-length sockets cannot access. At 0.08 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use without fatigue. Licensed tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service work rely on this type of socket for precision hand-drive work where impact tools are not appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for residential and light commercial service applications where a 1\/4 inch drive ratchet or extension is in use. The deep configuration makes it especially useful when working around standoffs, studs, or recessed fastener heads in tight equipment enclosures, control panels, and mechanical assemblies. Its compact 0.7 inch width keeps it maneuverable in restricted spaces. It is packaged and sold as a single unit, making it practical as a replacement or addition to an existing socket set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point design provides full contact on fastener flats, reducing rounding risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep length at 2 inches overall reaches recessed and extended-shank fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and flex handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 0.7 inch width suits work in tight enclosures and panel spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style deep hand socket for use with standard 1\/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and accessories requiring a 3\/8 inch socket size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is a hand-drive tool installed and removed by service technicians across mechanical trades. Before use, confirm the drive square engagement is fully seated in the ratchet or extension to prevent slippage. Do not use this socket with impact drivers, as the chrome finish and hand-socket rating are not rated for impact torque loads. Inspect for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J4712L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541128282418,"sku":"J4712L","price":18.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/33920102413533e0a4d22c6377263b6f.jpg?v=1785868749","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j4712l-deep-hand-socket-3-8-inch-6-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
