Built from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it provides corrosion resistance and durability under daily shop use. The 3\/8-inch drive fits standard ratchets and extensions commonly found in trade toolkits. At 1-3\/8 inches overall length, this is a standard-length socket suited for most fastener access situations. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople rely on this type of socket for reliable torque transfer on hex and 12-point fasteners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J5232B is appropriate for use in automotive, HVAC equipment service, mechanical maintenance, and general industrial assembly where a 1-inch fastener must be driven with a 3\/8-inch drive tool. The 12-point design allows engagement at 30-degree increments, which improves usability in tight or partially obstructed spaces. This socket is sold individually and is intended for hand-tool use with a matching 3\/8-inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch socket size for large fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point geometry allows 30-degree engagement increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch drive compatibility with standard ratchets and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASME B107.1 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides corrosion and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 1-3\/8 inches overall for general-purpose use\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, or torque wrench.

Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding fasteners or damaging the drive square. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and do not use impact drivers with hand-rated sockets unless the socket is rated for impact use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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: 1-3\/8 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\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.26 pounds\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 B107.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Limited Lifetime\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: J5232B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542836576562,"sku":"J5232B","price":20.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a951c5572721d795cc2b50b54a8807c3.jpg?v=1785908865","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5232b-1-inch-12-point-3-8-drive-hand-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
