Proto J5424MN Hand Socket 24mm 12-point 1/2 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5424MN is a 24 mm, 12-point hand socket designed for professional use with a 1/2 inch drive. Built from steel with a chrome-plated finish, it handles demanding fastener work in automotive, industrial, and mechanical applications. The standard-length design measures 1-7/8 inches overall, giving techs a compact profile that fits in tight spaces without sacrificing reach. It meets AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS955 standards, making it a verified choice for shops where compliance matters. Licensed tradespeople and experienced mechanics rely on this socket for repeatable, secure engagement on 24 mm hex fasteners.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial mechanical work, vehicle service, equipment maintenance, and general assembly tasks wherever a 1/2 inch drive is the standard. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at multiple angles, which is useful when working in confined areas with limited swing. It is a single-piece, non-tethered socket intended for hand-tool use in standard service environments.
