Proto J5336M Deep Hand Socket 36mm 12-point 1/2 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5336M is a deep hand socket designed for professional-grade hand tool applications requiring extended reach and high torque capacity. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this socket accepts a 1/2 inch drive and fits 36 mm fastener heads with a 12-point internal configuration. The deep length profile measures 3.25 inches overall, making it suited for recessed fasteners, long bolt protrusions, and confined areas where a standard-length socket cannot seat fully. Mechanics, millwrights, heavy equipment technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals rely on this socket type for demanding assembly and disassembly work.

This socket is appropriate for use in automotive, fleet, industrial, and heavy equipment service environments where 36 mm fasteners are common. Typical applications include wheel bearing retaining nuts, axle nuts, suspension components, and large mechanical assemblies. The 12-point design engages fasteners at more contact positions than a 6-point configuration, allowing use in spaces where swing arc is limited. It is intended for hand-drive use and is not rated for impact applications.

Key Features

• 36 mm socket size fits metric fasteners common in heavy automotive and industrial equipment
• 12-point internal geometry allows engagement at 30-degree increments for restricted-swing situations
• Deep length profile at 3.25 inches overall provides clearance over long bolt protrusions and recessed fasteners
• Alloy steel construction provides durability under high-torque hand drive use
• Chrome-plated finish resists surface corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Meets ASME B107.5M standards for hand socket performance and dimensional accuracy
• Limited lifetime warranty backed by the manufacturer

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch drive hand ratchets, breaker bars, torque wrenches, and extensions. Fits 36 mm fastener heads in metric applications across automotive, fleet, and industrial service environments.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for installation and removal of fasteners by licensed or experienced trade professionals using hand tools. Always confirm the fastener size matches the socket before applying torque to avoid fastener or socket damage. Do not use this socket with pneumatic or hydraulic impact tools, as it is not rated for impact use. Follow applicable torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer when reinstalling fasteners.
