Proto J5432N 1 Inch 12-point 1/2 Drive Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J5432N is a 1-inch, 12-point hand socket designed for use with a 1/2-inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Constructed from chrome-plated steel, this standard-length socket delivers reliable torque transfer on hex fasteners requiring a 1-inch opening. The 12-point design allows for six additional engagement positions compared to a 6-point socket, making it easier to work in tight spaces where ratchet swing is limited. At 1-59/64 inches overall length, it fits within standard-depth fastener clearances. This socket meets AS4984A, ASME B107.110-2012, and SAE AS954G standards and carries a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

The J5432N is suited for mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications where 1-inch fasteners are common. Typical uses include equipment assembly, structural bolting, and general service work across automotive, manufacturing, and facilities maintenance environments. It is packaged individually and intended for professional tradespeople who require a reliable, standards-compliant socket for daily use with 1/2-inch drive tooling.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by mechanics and maintenance technicians working with hand tools. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener and the drive connection is secure before applying torque. Do not use impact drivers with this hand socket unless it is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if any damage is found.
