Proto J5015M Deep Hand Socket 15mm 12-point 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5015M is a 15 mm, 12-point deep hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers the strength and corrosion resistance required for repeated professional use. At 2.75 inches in overall length, the deep profile provides the clearance needed to reach fasteners on extended studs, deep-set bolts, and recessed hardware. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at multiple angles, which is useful in confined workspaces. This socket meets ANSI/ASME B107.5 standards for hand socket tools.

The J5015M suits automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service where 15 mm fasteners are common. Its deep length is particularly useful when working around conduit runs, equipment brackets, pipe fittings, and engine components where a standard-length socket lacks the reach. Licensed trades and general mechanics reach for deep sockets when installing or removing hardware that sits below a surface or rides on a threaded stud.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive compatibility fits standard ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars
• Deep length profile at 2.75 inches overall for recessed and stud-mounted fasteners
• Alloy steel construction rated for high-torque hand tool applications
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Meets ANSI/ASME B107.5 standards for hand socket tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition to 3/8 inch drive hand tool sets requiring a deep 15 mm socket.

Installation Notes

Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is found. Always ensure the drive connection to the ratchet or breaker bar is fully seated before applying torque. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers or impact wrenches unless the tool is specifically rated for impact use. Store in a dry location to preserve the chrome finish and prevent corrosion.
