Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this 12-point socket accepts a 1\/2 inch drive and fits a 1-3\/8 inch fastener. The deep-length design at 3.5 inches overall allows it to seat fully on recessed or stud-mounted nuts that a standard-depth socket cannot reach. It meets AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS954G standards, making it appropriate for both general mechanical work and applications where specification compliance is required. Mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial maintenance applications where 1-3\/8 inch fasteners are common. The deep-length profile is especially useful on wheel studs, long bolt assemblies, and recessed hardware found in drivetrain, suspension, and mechanical equipment service. The 12-point geometry provides more engagement positions than a 6-point socket, which is advantageous in tight quarters where full swing of the ratchet is not possible. The chrome finish aids in cleaning and corrosion resistance in shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/8 inch socket size fits standard hex fasteners of that dimension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point design allows more ratchet engagement positions in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDeep length at 3.5 inches overall provides reach on recessed and stud-mounted fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction handles high-torque hand tool applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplies with AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS954G standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches.

Always ensure the fastener is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to prevent rounding. Power down or de-energize any associated systems before loosening or tightening fasteners on live mechanical assemblies. This socket is not tether capable and should not be used in overhead or elevated work zones where dropped-tool hazards apply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Deep\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTether Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Not Tether Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, SAE AS954G\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.33 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J5344\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540383727922,"sku":"J5344","price":57.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c55f0eee9030c7e5544b377a21a7e613.jpg?v=1785853820","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5344-deep-hand-socket-1-3-8-in-12-point-1-2-in-drive","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
