Proto J5022H Deep Hand Socket 11/16 in 3/8 Drive 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J5022H is a deep hand socket designed for professional-grade hand tool applications. Built with a 3/8 inch drive and sized at 11/16 inch, this socket uses a 6-point contact geometry to grip fastener flats squarely, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. The deep-length profile allows it to reach recessed fasteners, studs, and bolts that a standard-depth socket cannot access. A chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and makes the socket easier to wipe clean in shop or field conditions. Licensed tradespeople across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines rely on deep sockets like the J5022H for routine maintenance and installation work.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. The deep length makes it well suited for automotive service, HVAC equipment fasteners, pump assemblies, and general mechanical work where fasteners sit below a surrounding surface or are threaded onto long studs. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service environments and is a practical addition to any professional socket set.

Key Features

• 11/16 inch socket size fits common SAE fasteners encountered in mechanical and HVAC service work
• 3/8 inch drive connects directly to standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• 6-point design distributes torque across fastener flats to minimize fastener damage
• Deep-length profile reaches recessed bolts, studs, and fasteners inaccessible to standard sockets
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning in shop environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches following standard SAE square-drive specifications.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified trades professionals using appropriate 3/8 inch drive hand tools. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if any deformation is observed.
