Proto J5013M Deep Hand Socket 13mm 3/8 Drive 12-point

Product Description

The PROTO J5013M is a 13 mm, 12-point deep hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and extensions. Built with a chrome-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance and a clean, durable surface for repeated shop and field use. At 2 inches in length, the deep profile gives clearance for fasteners on extended or recessed bolt shafts where a standard-depth socket would bottom out. This socket meets ASME B107.5 standards and is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general maintenance technicians who need reliable hand-tool performance in tight or deep-access applications.

This deep socket is appropriate for residential and commercial mechanical work, automotive repair, and equipment maintenance where 13 mm fasteners appear on recessed studs, long bolts, or spark plug-style hardware. The 12-point configuration engages fastener flats at more positions than a 6-point, which speeds socket placement in confined spaces. The 3/8 inch drive makes it compatible with a wide range of mid-torque ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches common in professional toolsets.

Key Features

• 13 mm socket size with deep-length profile for recessed and extended fasteners

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style deep hand socket compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches requiring a 13 mm, 12-point deep socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified mechanics and maintenance technicians using standard 3/8 inch drive tooling. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque required by the fastener application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks, rounding, or finish damage before each use and replace if wear is evident. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless it is rated for impact use.
