Proto J5426N 13/16 Inch 12-point 1/2 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J5426N is a 13/16-inch, 12-point hand socket designed for 1/2-inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Built from chrome-plated steel, it delivers the corrosion resistance and surface hardness required for repeated professional use. The 12-point configuration allows engagement at 30-degree increments, giving technicians more positional options in tight quarters. At 1.75 inches overall length, this is a standard-length socket suited for general fastener work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service applications. It meets AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS954G standards and carries a lifetime warranty.

This socket is appropriate for residential and commercial service work where a 13/16-inch fastener and a 1/2-inch drive are called for. Common applications include equipment access panels, structural fasteners, and mechanical assemblies encountered by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance professionals. The standard length profile makes it compatible with most 1/2-inch drive socket sets and extension bars without clearance concerns in typical service scenarios.
