Proto J5211H 11/32 Inch 6-point Hand Socket 3/8 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5211H is a 6-point hand socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this 11/32 inch socket delivers reliable torque transfer on hex fasteners in standard-depth applications. The 6-point design reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads compared to 12-point alternatives, making it a solid choice for production, maintenance, and field service work. It meets ASME B107.1 standards for hand socket tools and carries a limited lifetime warranty. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades will find this socket useful across a wide range of fastener sizes encountered in daily service work.

This socket is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance applications where a 3/8 inch drive tool set is the standard. Common install scenarios include panel work, equipment mounting, and fixture fastening where an 11/32 inch fastener is specified. The standard-length design fits most drive handles and extensions without interference, and the chrome finish resists corrosion in shop and field environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 3/8 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or extension. Standard-length fitment is compatible with common 3/8 inch drive tool sets used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service.

Installation Notes

Install and remove fasteners using an appropriate 3/8 inch drive ratchet or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. De-energize electrical equipment and shut off fluid systems before servicing fastened components. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before use and replace if damage is present.
