Proto J5326M Deep Hand Socket 26mm 1/2 Drive 12-point

Product Description

The PROTO J5326M is a deep hand socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in demanding trade environments. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, this socket accepts 26 mm fastener heads and features a 12-point internal geometry that allows engagement at multiple rotational positions, useful in tight access situations. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and surface wear under repeated shop and field use. This is a deep-length socket, giving technicians the clearance needed to reach recessed or stud-mounted fasteners that a standard-depth socket cannot access. Mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial service pros keep deep sockets like this in regular rotation for engine, mechanical, and equipment service work.

The J5326M fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extensions commonly found in professional tool sets. The 26 mm size and deep length make it well suited for automotive, heavy equipment, plumbing fixture, and mechanical equipment applications where fastener access is restricted by surrounding components or extended bolt length. It is packaged as a single unit, making it straightforward to add as a standalone replacement or to fill a gap in an existing socket set.

Key Features

• 26 mm socket size for metric fastener applications
• 1/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 12-point design allows engagement at 30-degree intervals for versatility in restricted spaces
• Deep-length construction reaches recessed fasteners and extended studs
• Chrome-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and easy cleaning

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit deep hand socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive hand tools including ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches.

Installation Notes

Ensure the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque to prevent rounding or socket ejection under load. Power down or de-energize any equipment before beginning fastener service on mechanical or electrical assemblies. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damage is found. This socket is intended for hand-tool use only and is not rated for impact driver applications unless specifically designated for such use.
