Proto J5342H Deep Hand Socket 1-5/16 in 6-point 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5342H is a deep hand socket designed for professional hand-tool applications requiring extended reach on fasteners. Sized at 1-5/16 inches with a 6-point internal geometry, this socket fits a 1/2 inch drive and measures 3.5 inches overall length. The 6-point design concentrates contact force on the flat faces of the fastener, reducing rounding on stubborn or corroded hex fasteners. Constructed from chrome alloy steel with a chrome finish, the J5342H meets ASME B107.110-2012 and AS4984A standards. It is intended for use by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need a reliable deep socket for recessed or stud-mounted fastener applications.

This socket is suited for automotive, industrial, and mechanical maintenance work where standard-depth sockets cannot reach deeply recessed nuts or bolts. The 1/2 inch drive makes it compatible with mid-range torque wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars commonly used in heavy-duty hand-tool setups. It is a single-piece, non-tethered socket appropriate for general shop and field use where drop prevention is not a site requirement.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners using this socket should be performed by qualified mechanics or maintenance technicians familiar with proper torque procedures. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to prevent slipping. Use appropriate 1/2 inch drive equipment rated for the torque demands of the application. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
