Proto J5326 Deep Hand Socket 13/16 in 1/2 in Drive 12-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J5326 is a deep hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. It accepts a 13/16 inch fastener and features a 12-point internal geometry, allowing engagement on hex fasteners from multiple positions. The socket is machined from alloy steel and finished with chrome plating for corrosion resistance. At 3.25 inches in overall length, the deep configuration provides clearance to reach recessed or stud-mounted fasteners that standard-length sockets cannot access. This socket is built to meet ASME B107.110-2012 and SAE AS954G standards, making it appropriate for professional hand-tool use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work.

The J5326 is suited for residential and commercial service applications where 13/16 inch fasteners appear in recessed or extended positions. Common install scenarios include equipment mounting bolts, conduit fittings, plumbing connections, and structural fasteners that require additional socket depth. The 12-point design allows use in tight spaces where a full swing arc is not available. This socket is a hand-tool application only and is not rated for impact use.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for hand-tool use only with a 1/2 inch drive handle. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to avoid rounding. Do not use with impact drivers or pneumatic tools, as this socket is not rated for impact application. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use.
