Proto J5410H Hand Socket 5/16 Inch 6-point Chrome

Product Description

The PROTO J5410H is a 6-point hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it accepts 5/16 inch fasteners and delivers the contact geometry of a 6-point design, which reduces the risk of rounding fastener corners under high torque. The overall length is 17/32 inches, placing it in the standard-length category. This socket meets ASME B107.1 standards and carries a limited lifetime warranty. It is suited for automotive, mechanical, and general maintenance work where a reliable, code-compliant hand socket is required.

The J5410H is a standard-length socket intended for use in general trade and maintenance applications. It fits 1/2 inch drive tooling and is appropriate for automotive technicians, industrial mechanics, and maintenance professionals working on equipment where 5/16 inch fasteners are common. The standard length profile works well in most accessible fastener locations where deep-reach sockets are not needed.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by automotive technicians, industrial mechanics, and general maintenance professionals. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket and drive square for wear or cracks before use. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is impact-rated.
