Proto J5026H Deep Hand Socket 13/16 in 6-pt 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5026H is a deep hand socket designed for professional hand-tool use in mechanical, electrical, and trade service applications. Built to a 13/16 inch socket size with a 3/8 inch square drive, this 6-point deep socket provides a secure, full-contact fit on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under torque. The chrome finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward after use. This type of socket is a standard piece of a working technician's drive set, suited for jobs where fastener depth or obstructions require extra reach beyond a standard-length socket.

This deep socket fits into residential, commercial, and industrial service scenarios where a 13/16 inch fastener sits recessed or where clearance around the fastener head is limited. Common applications include HVAC equipment assembly and service, electrical panel and equipment mounting hardware, plumbing fixture hardware, and general mechanical maintenance. It pairs with any standard 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. The deep length makes it particularly useful when working on threaded studs or bolt-and-nut combinations with exposed thread.

Key Features

• 13/16 inch socket size fits common fastener sizes in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand socket for use with any standard 3/8 inch drive hand-tool system including ratchets, extensions, and flex handles.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand using a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Before servicing any equipment, de-energize electrical circuits per applicable NEC requirements or shut off relevant mechanical systems before loosening hardware. Inspect the socket and drive for wear or cracks before applying torque. Do not use impact drivers with a hand-rated socket unless the socket is rated for impact use.
