Proto J5415MN 15mm 12-point 1/2 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J5415MN is a 15 mm, 12-point hand socket designed for 1/2 inch drive ratchets and breaker bars. Built from steel with a chrome-plated finish, it measures 1-5/8 inches in overall length, placing it in the standard-length category. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at every 30 degrees of rotation, giving technicians more swing options in confined spaces. This socket is suited for professional use in automotive, HVAC equipment service, and general mechanical maintenance where fastener access and durability are priorities. It meets AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS955 standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

This socket is intended for hand-tool use with 1/2 inch drive equipment. It fits the standard range of mechanical and trade applications where a 15 mm hex fastener is encountered, including engine work, equipment frames, HVAC unit mounting hardware, and structural fasteners on commercial and residential systems. Its standard length makes it a direct fit in most socket organizers and drive sets. Installation professionals and service technicians in automotive, mechanical, and HVAC trades will find it a reliable addition to a 1/2 inch drive set.

Installation Notes

Seat the socket fully onto the drive square before applying torque to prevent rounding of the fastener or socket damage. Inspect the chrome finish and socket walls for cracks or wear before each use. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers or impact wrenches unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Keep the socket dry and free of debris for proper seating and engagement.
