Proto J5338H Deep Hand Socket 1-3/16 in 1/2 Drive 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J5338H is a deep hand socket designed for professional-grade fastener work in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications. Built to a 1-3/16 inch socket size with a 1/2 inch drive, this 6-point socket provides full contact on hex fastener flats, reducing rounding and improving torque transfer. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and wipes clean quickly. At 0.95 pounds and a length of 3.3 inches, it offers the reach needed for recessed or deeply seated fasteners without sacrificing control. It meets ASME B107.1 standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use.

This socket is suited for automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, fleet service, and industrial assembly work where deep-reach access to 1-3/16 inch fasteners is required. The 1/2 inch drive interface pairs with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches found in most trade tool sets. The 6-point geometry is preferred over 12-point designs when working with worn or corrosion-affected fasteners, as it distributes load across fewer contact points and reduces fastener damage risk.

Key Features

• 1-3/16 inch socket size for direct fitment on matching hex fasteners
• 1/2 inch drive for compatibility with standard drive ratchets and torque wrenches
• 6-point design reduces fastener rounding on stubborn or corroded hardware
• Deep length provides extended reach for recessed or countersunk fasteners
• Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Meets ASME B107.1 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style deep hand socket for use with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches in professional and trade tool sets.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by mechanics, machinists, and trade professionals working on fastened assemblies. Ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque requirements of the application before use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damaged. Do not use impact drivers with hand sockets unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use.
