Proto J5282HAM 19mm 6-point 3/8 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J5282HAM is a 19 mm, 6-point hand socket with a 3/8 inch drive, designed for professional use in industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications. Built from alloy steel with a chrome finish, it delivers the corrosion resistance and surface hardness that trade professionals expect from a service-grade socket. The universal/flex socket type allows access to fasteners in tight or offset positions where a standard socket cannot reach. Overall length is 1-59/64 inches. This socket meets ASME B107.5M standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for hand tool applications.

This socket is suited for automotive technicians, industrial mechanics, and maintenance professionals working on equipment assemblies that require a 19 mm fastener size with 3/8 inch drive tooling. The 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs, making it a preferred choice when working with worn or tight hardware. The universal/flex design is particularly useful in confined engine bays, equipment panels, or structural assemblies where straight-line access is limited.

Key Features

• 19 mm socket size with 6-point contact for reduced fastener rounding
• 3/8 inch drive fits standard ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches
• Universal/flex socket type for angled fastener access
• Alloy steel construction with chrome finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B107.5M dimensional and performance standards
• Overall length of 1-59/64 inches for compact fitment

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches. Compatible with any application requiring a 19 mm, 6-point hand socket in a universal/flex configuration.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and operated by automotive technicians, industrial mechanics, and general maintenance trades. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid slippage or rounding. Inspect the socket and drive square for wear or cracks before each use. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is rated for impact use.
