Proto J5007M Deep Hand Socket 7mm 12-point 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5007M is a 7 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 measures 2.125 inches in overall length, giving it the reach needed to seat onto fasteners recessed in deep bores or behind obstructions. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at 30-degree increments, which is useful in tight spaces where swing arc is limited. This socket is rated to ASME B107.110-2012, SAE AS955, and AS4984A, making it suitable for professional-grade hand tool applications in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service environments.

The J5007M is well suited for automotive technicians, millwrights, and general maintenance mechanics who regularly encounter metric fasteners in confined or deep-set locations. Typical applications include engine work, suspension service, and equipment assembly where standard-length sockets cannot reach the fastener head. The chrome finish resists corrosion during normal service use. This socket is sold individually and is not tether capable, so it is not rated for elevated work environments that require dropped-object prevention.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Fits any tool with a 3/8 inch square drive detent pin.

Installation Notes

A licensed or trained mechanic should verify fastener torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer before use. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener head before applying torque to prevent rounding. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless it is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove it from service if damage is found.
