Proto J5010M Deep Hand Socket 10 Mm 12-point 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5010M is a 10 mm deep hand socket designed for 3/8-inch drive ratchets and extensions. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it is engineered for durability and corrosion resistance in professional shop and field use. The 12-point configuration allows engagement at multiple angles, which is useful when working in tight or restricted spaces. At 2.125 inches in overall length, the deep profile provides the clearance needed to reach fasteners on extended or recessed studs. This socket meets ASME B107.5 standards, making it appropriate for professional-grade hand tool applications across mechanical trades.

This socket suits a wide range of applications including automotive repair, HVAC equipment service, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical maintenance. The deep length is particularly useful for reaching lug nuts, long bolts, and recessed fasteners that a standard-length socket cannot fully seat on. It is sized for common metric fasteners encountered on residential and commercial equipment, and it pairs with any standard 3/8-inch drive ratchet, torque wrench, or breaker bar.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3/8-inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench. Fits 10 mm metric fasteners across automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by a mechanic, HVAC technician, or plumber using a 3/8-inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use on high-load fasteners. Chrome-plated hand sockets are intended for hand-drive use only and should not be used with impact drivers.
