Built from steel with a polished finish, it meets ASME B107.21 standards for hand socket performance and dimensional accuracy. The standard-length design measures 1-25\/32 inches overall, making it a practical choice for general fastener work in tight but accessible spaces. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and professional tradespeople rely on this type of socket for routine bolt and nut removal across a wide range of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket suits residential, commercial, and light industrial service work where a 13 mm fastener is common. It is a standard size frequently encountered in mechanical, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture hardware. The 12-point profile allows the socket to engage fasteners at 30-degree increments, providing more ratchet positions in confined areas compared to a 6-point design. It is compatible with any standard 3\/8-inch drive ratchet, extension, or torque wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e13 mm socket size fits common metric fasteners across mechanical and trade applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point design engages at 30-degree increments for better access in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch drive accepts standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with polished finish for durability and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B107.21 standards for hand socket dimensional and performance requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 1-25\/32 inches overall for everyday fastener work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 3\/8-inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Always confirm the fastener size before applying force to avoid rounding or damaging hardware. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use impact drivers with a hand socket not rated for impact service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13 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: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-25\/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: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.73 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.78 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.21\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\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: J5213MN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539020906802,"sku":"J5213MN","price":17.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/38a2d8d6cb445024c06d6872a2a58f7c.jpg?v=1785833038","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5213mn-13mm-12-point-3-8-drive-hand-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
