Proto J5024MH Deep Hand Socket 24mm 6-point 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5024MH is a deep hand socket designed for 3/8 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it provides durable, corrosion-resistant performance in professional hand-tool applications. The 6-point internal geometry delivers full contact on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding worn or tight hardware. At 2.8 inches in length, the deep profile reaches fasteners that standard-length sockets cannot access, making it a practical addition to any mechanic or maintenance technician's socket set.

This socket is suited for automotive, industrial, and general maintenance work where a 24 mm fastener sits recessed or stacked on a long bolt or stud. Typical applications include suspension work, engine component service, and equipment repair in both shop and field environments. The 3/8 inch drive size balances torque capacity with maneuverability in confined spaces, and the chrome finish simplifies cleaning and identification on a crowded workbench.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using appropriate 3/8 inch drive ratchets or torque wrenches rated for the required torque specification of the application. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damaged. Do not use impact drivers or air tools with this hand socket unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Follow applicable service manual procedures for the equipment being serviced.
