Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome finish, this socket delivers the durability needed for repetitive fastener work in demanding shop and field environments. The 12-point configuration provides double the engagement positions of a 6-point socket, allowing easier placement in confined spaces where swing arc is limited. The overall length is 1-9\/16 inches. This socket is a standard addition to a professional mechanic or maintenance technician's drive set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited for automotive, industrial maintenance, and general mechanical applications where 15\/16 inch fasteners are encountered. The 1\/2 inch drive size makes it compatible with mid-range drive tools commonly used on larger bolts and nuts found in engine components, suspension assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, and structural fastener work. The compact overall length keeps it manageable in tighter clearance situations without sacrificing strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15\/16 inch socket size for direct fastener engagement without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point design allows engagement every 30 degrees for use in restricted swing situations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive compatible with standard mid-range ratchets, torque wrenches, and extensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASME B107.1 standards for hand socket tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome finish provides corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLimited lifetime warranty backed by the manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 1\/2 inch drive tools including ratchets, breaker bars, extensions, and torque wrenches accepting standard square drive sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket is installed by a mechanic or maintenance technician onto a compatible 1\/2 inch drive tool before applying torque to a fastener. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying load to prevent drive square damage or socket ejection. Do not use hand sockets with impact drivers unless the socket is specifically rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.27 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B107.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e: Limited Lifetime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27110000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J5430B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542946349362,"sku":"J5430B","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e27569aa6a9f469b91e48da9d430e7a9.jpg?v=1785911894","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j5430b-15-16-inch-12-point-hand-socket-1-2-drive","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
