Proto J5007MH Deep Hand Socket 7mm 6-point 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5007MH is a 7 mm deep hand socket designed for professional-grade hand-tool use in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service applications. Built on a 3/8 inch drive, it features a 6-point contact geometry that delivers full surface engagement on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward in shop or field environments. At 2.13 inches in length, the deep-reach profile gives clearance for recessed or stud-mounted fasteners that standard-depth sockets cannot reach.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work wherever a 7 mm metric fastener is encountered in tight or recessed locations. Typical applications include equipment panels, motor mounts, conduit fittings, control-board hardware, and general mechanical assembly. It is sized for technicians who carry both metric and fractional drive sets and need reliable depth clearance without switching to an extension in every situation.

Key Features

• 7 mm socket size for common metric fasteners found in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical equipment
• 6-point design maximizes contact area on fastener flats and reduces cam-out risk
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, torque wrenches, and breaker bars
• Deep-reach length of 2.13 inches provides clearance on recessed and stud-mounted fasteners
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Meets ASME B107.5 standards for hand socket tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style deep hand socket for use with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench requiring a 7 mm metric deep socket.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by a qualified technician following applicable service procedures. Always confirm the drive tool is fully seated and the ratchet pawl is engaged before applying torque. When servicing energized equipment, de-energize and lock out the system per NFPA 70E or applicable local code before using hand tools near live components.
