Proto J5346 Deep Hand Socket 1-7/16 in 12-pt 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5346 is a deep hand socket designed for turning fasteners in recessed or hard-to-reach locations. Built from alloy steel with a chrome finish, it features a 1-7/16 inch socket size and a 12-point geometry for reliable engagement on hex and double-hex fasteners. The 1/2 inch square drive mates with standard 1/2 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. At 3-1/2 inches in overall length, the deep profile clears studs and extended bolt threads that shorter sockets cannot. This socket is a standard tool for mechanics, pipefitters, millwrights, and service technicians working on industrial and commercial equipment.

The J5346 suits applications where a standard-length socket lacks the depth to fully seat on a fastener. Common scenarios include accessing wheel hub nuts, engine fasteners, conduit locknuts, and structural bolts with long thread extensions. The 12-point configuration provides multiple engagement positions in tight swing arcs, useful in confined spaces. The chrome plating resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning in shop environments. This socket is not tether capable and is intended for hand-tool use only.

Installation Notes

Installed by mechanics, pipefitters, millwrights, and industrial service technicians using standard 1/2 inch drive hand tools. Always de-energize, depressurize, or lock out the equipment being serviced before loosening or tightening fasteners. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if damaged. Do not use with impact drivers, as this socket is rated for hand-tool use only.
