Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this socket delivers reliable torque transfer on fasteners where 12-point access is required. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at 30-degree increments, making it useful in tight or restricted fastener access situations. With an overall length of 1-3\/32 inches, it fits standard socket trays and tool organizers. This socket meets ANSI standard B107.1, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional hand tool use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket suits residential, commercial, and industrial service work across the HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades. It is appropriate for equipment assembly, panel work, mechanical fastening on fan assemblies, compressor brackets, and general service tasks wherever a 5\/16 inch, 12-point fastener is encountered. It is not tether capable, so it is intended for standard ground-level or bench service applications rather than overhead or elevated work requiring tethered tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch socket size fits corresponding hex and 12-point fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point design allows engagement every 30 degrees for use in restricted spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for strength under torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI B107.1 dimensional and performance standards\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 any 3\/8 inch drive ratchet, extension bar, or torque wrench.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. This socket is not tether capable and should not be used in elevated work environments where dropped-tool controls require tethered equipment. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if deformation is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B107.1\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: 0.06 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: J5210B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541377483058,"sku":"J5210B","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4a8450be0a6778fefebaeddbd25ab919.jpg?v=1785874098","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5210b-5-16-inch-12-point-hand-socket-3-8-drive","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
