Proto J5330M Deep Hand Socket 30mm 12-point 1/2 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5330M is a 30 mm, 12-point deep hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Chrome-plated alloy construction provides corrosion resistance and a clean surface for easy torque reading and inspection. The deep-length profile accommodates extended fasteners, studs, and recessed bolt heads where a standard-depth socket cannot reach. This socket meets ASME B107.5 standards, making it a reliable choice for professional mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople who need a dependable hand tool for demanding fastener applications.

The PROTO J5330M suits a wide range of fastener-removal and installation tasks in automotive, heavy equipment, industrial maintenance, and manufacturing environments. The 30 mm size is commonly encountered on drivetrain components, suspension fasteners, and structural hardware. The deep-length design is especially useful when working around protruding studs or when additional socket depth is required to clear surrounding hardware. Installed by hand with a compatible 1/2 inch drive tool, this socket fits standard tool sets used by fleet maintenance shops, assembly lines, and field service crews.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a compatible 1/2 inch drive tool only. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact drivers or air tools with a hand socket not rated for impact service. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage and fastener damage.
