Proto J4774TA Hand Socket 7/16 in 12-pt 1/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J4774TA is a 7/16-inch, 12-point hand socket designed for use with 1/4-inch drive ratchets and extension bars. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it meets ASME B107.1 standards for hand socket tools. The universal/flex-type socket profile allows access to fasteners in tight or angled positions. At 0.05 pounds, it is lightweight and suited for repetitive task work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors reach for this size when working with small fasteners on equipment panels, access covers, and component mounting hardware.

This socket is used in light-duty hand-tool applications across residential and commercial service work. The 7/16-inch size is common in equipment assembly and electrical enclosure work where 1/4-inch drive tooling is preferred for torque control and access in confined spaces. The 12-point configuration engages fasteners from multiple positions, reducing the need to reposition in restricted areas.

Key Features

• 7/16-inch socket size fits standard hex fasteners of that dimension
• 12-point design allows engagement from multiple positions in tight spaces
• 1/4-inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, extensions, and adapters
• Alloy steel construction provides durability under repeated use
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and allows easy cleaning
• Meets ASME B107.1 standards for hand socket tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style 1/4-inch drive hand socket compatible with standard 1/4-inch drive ratchets, extension bars, and universal joints.

Installation Notes

This socket is a hand tool used by any trade requiring 1/4-inch drive fastener access. Verify the fastener size before applying torque to avoid rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use, and do not use impact drivers with a socket rated for hand-tool use only.
