Proto J4714L Deep Hand Socket 7/16 Inch 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J4714L is a 7/16 inch, 6-point deep hand socket designed for professional hand-tool applications. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this socket provides the reach needed to engage fasteners recessed below a surface or seated on long bolt shanks. The 6-point configuration grips fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding. At 2 inches in overall length, it fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and handles. Weighing 0.09 pounds, it is well-suited for tight spaces where a compact, lightweight socket is required. This socket meets AS4984A and ASME B107.110-2012 standards.

The J4714L is intended for use in trade and maintenance environments where 1/4 inch drive tooling is the appropriate choice — such as light-duty mechanical assembly, HVAC equipment service, electrical panel work, and plumbing fixture installation. The deep length makes it particularly useful when standard-depth sockets cannot reach a recessed fastener or a nut seated deep on a threaded stud. It is sold individually and is appropriate for professional tool sets requiring a specific size replacement or addition.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a 1/4 inch drive ratchet or handle — no permanent mounting is required. Ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket square drive before applying torque to prevent slippage or damage to the fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact drivers with this hand-rated socket. This socket is not tether capable and should be secured by other means when working at elevation or in overhead applications.
