Proto J4714LT Deep Hand Socket 7/16 in 12-pt 1/4 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4714LT is a 7/16 inch, 12-point deep hand socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Machined from alloy steel and finished with a chrome plating, this socket is built for professional-grade hand tool use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service environments. The deep length profile allows access to fasteners on extended studs, recessed bolts, and similar applications where a standard-length socket cannot seat fully. At 2 inches overall length and 0.1 pounds, it is compact enough for tight-quarters work without sacrificing reach.

This socket is suited for general mechanical service work requiring a 7/16 inch fastener drive. It is a common fit for automotive underhood work, HVAC equipment service, and light industrial assembly where 1/4 inch drive tooling is preferred for controlled torque application in confined spaces. The 12-point configuration engages hex fasteners at multiple positions, reducing ratchet swing arc requirements in tight areas.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch socket size with 12-point contact geometry
• 1/4 inch square drive for use with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and adapters
• Deep length profile at 2 inches overall for access to recessed or stud-mounted fasteners
• Alloy steel construction with chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and drive tools conforming to ASME B107.110-2012 drive dimensions.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand tool technicians in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service settings. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace any damaged tooling. This item is not tether capable and should not be used in elevated work environments requiring dropped-object prevention.
