Proto J5322H Deep Hand Socket 11/16 in 6-point 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5322H is a deep hand socket designed for professional use in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance trade applications. Built to a 6-point configuration with a 1/2 inch drive, this socket fits 11/16 inch fasteners and provides the extended reach required for recessed or deeply set nuts and bolts. The alloy steel construction and chrome-plated finish deliver durability and corrosion resistance in demanding shop or field environments. At 3.25 inches in overall length, this socket meets ASME B107.110-2012 standards, making it a reliable choice for licensed mechanics and trade technicians who require certified tooling.

The J5322H is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work where a standard-length socket cannot reach the fastener. The deep profile accommodates bolt threads extending above the nut face, a common condition on threaded rod, long studs, and recessed fastener installations. It is a practical addition to any 1/2 inch drive socket set used in residential, commercial, or light industrial service settings.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand tool technicians as part of standard fastener removal and installation procedures. Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent slippage or fastener damage. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use. The J5322H is not tether capable and should not be used in elevated work environments where dropped-tool hazards are a concern.
