Proto J5429M Hand Socket 29mm 12-point 1/2 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5429M is a 29 mm, 12-point hand socket designed for use with a 1/2 inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, it delivers corrosion resistance and durability under regular shop and field use. The socket measures 1-25/32 inches in overall length, placing it in the standard-length category. It meets AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS955 standards, making it appropriate for professional-grade fastener work. Mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople rely on sockets like this one for bolt removal and installation across a range of equipment and vehicle applications.

This socket is suited for both automotive and general industrial fastener work where a 29 mm hex fastener and a 1/2 inch drive tool are required. The 12-point design allows engagement at 30-degree increments, providing more handle swing positions in tight spaces compared to a 6-point socket. Standard length makes it a versatile fit for most accessible fastener locations. It is packaged individually and is not tether capable, so it is best suited for standard bench or ground-level work environments where tool retention lanyards are not required.

Installation Notes

Always ensure the drive tool and socket are fully seated before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. This socket is not rated for impact driver use unless explicitly specified by the manufacturer. Technicians should follow applicable workplace safety and torque specifications as defined by the equipment service manual.
