Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts 8 mm fasteners and measures 1-19\/64 inches in overall length at standard depth. The 6-point geometry contacts fastener flats rather than corners, reducing rounding risk on worn or tight hardware. This socket is suited for mechanical, maintenance, and assembly work wherever a 1\/2 inch drive toolset is in use. Licensed trades and general mechanics reach for this size frequently on metric fastener applications across automotive, HVAC equipment panels, and light industrial machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J5408MH fits into standard 1\/2 inch drive socket sets and is appropriate for residential service calls, commercial maintenance environments, and shop use. Its standard-length profile works in most open-access situations. The chrome finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleanup after use in greasy or oily service conditions. This socket is sold individually, making it a practical replacement for a single worn or missing size in an existing set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8 mm socket size fits common metric fasteners in automotive and mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding on stubborn or corroded hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive compatible with standard ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASME B107.5M standards for hand socket tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard length at 1-19\/64 inches overall suits most open-access fastener locations\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, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting standard square drive sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove using a 1\/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying force to avoid slippage. This socket is not tether capable and should not be used in overhead or elevated work where drop hazards exist without additional retention measures. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if deformation is observed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 mm\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: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-19\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\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\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.5M\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Limited Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: J5408MH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539332268338,"sku":"J5408MH","price":18.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e51574a7e683a079781e43e087e0e840.jpg?v=1785838434","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5408mh-hand-socket-8mm-6-point-1-2-drive","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
