Proto J5214M 14mm 12-point 3/8 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J5214M is a 14 mm, 12-point hand socket designed for use with a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or extension. Built to standard length and finished in chrome plating, it meets ASME B107.5 dimensional and performance standards. The 12-point configuration provides 30-degree engagement increments, which is useful in confined spaces where swing arc is limited. This socket is a standard addition to a professional mechanic or service technician toolset and is commonly used in automotive, HVAC equipment, and general mechanical service work.

The J5214M is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks where a 14 mm fastener is involved. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive tool setups, making it compatible with the most common drive size found in service vans and shop toolboxes. Typical applications include equipment panel removal, component mounting hardware, and general fastener service on machinery and mechanical systems.
