Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers reliable torque transfer on hex fasteners while resisting corrosion in shop and field environments. The 6-point geometry grips fastener flats rather than corners, reducing the risk of rounding. Overall length is 1-3\/32 inches, making it a standard-length socket suitable for the majority of fastening applications encountered by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for general mechanical service work in automotive, industrial, and equipment maintenance settings. The 5 mm size targets small fasteners commonly found on import vehicles, electronics housings, small engine components, and precision machinery. It is typically used by automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, and industrial maintenance pros who require a reliable metric socket for 3\/8 inch drive tooling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 mm socket size for metric fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point design grips fastener flats to reduce rounding under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for durability under repeated torque cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B107.5M standards for hand socket performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLimited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Ensure the drive connection is fully seated before applying torque to prevent slippage or damage to the socket or fastener. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and replace if the drive square or socket opening shows signs of deformation. Not tether capable — use appropriate securing methods when working at elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.5M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Limited Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J52055MH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542593175858,"sku":"J52055MH","price":16.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b599f1b671aba029d98dfc7650e28dd6.jpg?v=1785903726","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j52055mh-5mm-6-point-3-8-drive-hand-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
