Proto J49907/32ST Hand Hex Bit Socket 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J49907/32ST is a hand hex bit socket designed for manual fastener driving in maintenance, mechanical, and assembly applications. It accepts a 3/8 inch square drive and features a 7/32 inch hex bit tip. Overall length is 1-13/16 inches, with a bit length of 3/4 inch. The compact profile makes it well-suited for confined fastener locations where larger sockets cannot seat properly. Technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades reach for this type of socket when working hex-head fasteners on equipment panels, brackets, and access covers.

This hex bit socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work where 7/32 inch hex fasteners are encountered. Common applications include securing blower housings, electrical enclosures, and mechanical access panels. The short overall length of 1-13/16 inches allows use in shallow clearance areas without requiring a low-profile extension.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by any trade technician working with 7/32 inch hex fasteners on mechanical or electrical equipment. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque required by the fastener application. Power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical or HVAC components. Inspect the hex tip for wear before use to avoid rounding fastener heads.
