Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this socket fits an 11\/16 inch fastener and accepts a 3\/8 inch drive. Its universal\/flex head allows the drive to pivot relative to the socket body, giving technicians working clearance around obstructions without sacrificing torque transfer. At just under 2 inches in overall length, it is compact enough for confined engine bays, equipment panels, and mechanical assemblies. Manufactured to ASME B107.1 standards, it is suited for daily use in automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is intended for hand-tool use by automotive technicians, HVAC service technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals who regularly work in constrained spaces. The universal\/flex joint is particularly useful in engine compartments, equipment rooms, and anywhere a straight-drive approach is blocked by surrounding components. It is packaged as a single unit and is compatible with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and breaker bars. Its chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning of grease and debris after use in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUniversal\/flex head design allows pivot access to fasteners obstructed by surrounding components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point socket geometry provides full-face contact on hex fasteners, reducing rounding risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction with chrome-plated finish for durability and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 11\/16 inch fasteners with a 3\/8 inch drive interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of approximately 1-31\/32 inches for compact fitment in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured to ASME B107.1 standards for hand socket performance and dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and extensions.

Ensure the drive connection is fully seated and the flex joint is not over-extended beyond its rated pivot range during torque application. Do not use impact drivers or impact wrenches with hand-rated sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and remove from service if damage is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/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: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Universal\/Flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-31\/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: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\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: J5278HA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543539810610,"sku":"J5278HA","price":49.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e4fecdd52d1e617431d6cd6bb12d420d.jpg?v=1785920126","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5278ha-11-16-in-6-point-3-8-dr-universal-flex-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
