Proto J4713LM Deep Hand Socket 13 Mm 6-point 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4713LM is a deep hand socket designed for professional hand-tool use in mechanical, electrical, and general maintenance applications. Built on a 1/4-inch drive, it accepts a 13 mm fastener and features a 6-point internal geometry that delivers full contact on hex fasteners, reducing the risk of rounding. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and makes wiping down the socket between uses fast and easy. The deep length profile allows it to reach fasteners seated below a surface or threaded onto longer studs where a standard-depth socket would bottom out before seating properly.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance work, automotive service, HVAC equipment installation, and electrical panel or fixture work where 13 mm metric fasteners are encountered. The 1/4-inch drive size makes it compatible with compact ratchets and extension bars common in tight-access situations. Technicians working in equipment cabinets, control panels, or confined mechanical spaces will find the deep length and small drive size useful for reaching recessed hardware.

Key Features

• 13 mm socket size fits standard metric hex fasteners
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under torque
• Deep length reaches recessed or stud-mounted fasteners
• 1/4-inch drive fits compact ratchets and extension bars
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and cleans easily

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch drive deep hand socket compatible with 1/4-inch drive ratchets, torque wrenches, and extension bars that accept square-drive accessories.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals using standard 1/4-inch drive hand tools. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. Disconnect power or shut off the relevant service before loosening or tightening fasteners on energized equipment or pressurized systems. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
