Proto J5330B Deep Hand Socket 15/16 in 1/2 in Drive 12-point

Product Description

The PROTO J5330B is a deep hand socket designed for professional hand-tool use in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications. Built from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this socket accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits a 15/16 inch fastener. The 12-point configuration allows engagement from multiple positions, useful when working in tight or restricted access areas. At 3.25 inches overall length, the deep profile provides clearance for recessed fasteners and long bolt studs. It meets ASME B107.1 standards and carries a limited lifetime warranty, making it a reliable choice for professional toolkits.

This socket is suited for use in automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, industrial assembly, and general mechanical service. The deep length is particularly useful when removing or torquing fasteners on engine components, suspension assemblies, and structural bolting where a standard-depth socket cannot reach. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and experienced tradespeople will find this socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. It is not tether capable and is intended for conventional hand-tool use in non-tethered work environments.
