Proto J5006M Deep Hand Socket 6 Mm 12-point 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5006M is a 6 mm, 12-point deep hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers the strength and corrosion resistance needed for professional shop and field use. At 2.125 inches overall length, the deep profile provides the clearance required to reach fasteners on extended studs, recessed bolts, and deep well applications. This socket meets ANSI/ASME B107.5 standards and carries a lifetime warranty, making it a reliable addition to any licensed mechanic or trade technician's tool set.

The J5006M is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work wherever a 6 mm metric fastener needs a deep-reach socket. The 12-point configuration engages hex fasteners at multiple angles, which is useful in tight quarters where swing arc is limited. It is appropriate for use in both residential service and light commercial maintenance environments where metric fasteners are common.
