Proto J54411/4XL Hand Hex Bit Socket 1/2 in Drive 1/4 in Hex

Product Description

The PROTO J54411/4XL is a long hand hex bit socket designed for fastener driving in tight or deep-access applications. Built for a 1/2 inch drive, it accepts a 1/4 inch hex bit and delivers an overall length of 4-5/8 inches with a bit length of 3-1/8 inches. The extended length makes it well suited for reaching recessed fasteners that standard-length sockets cannot access. Licensed trades and industrial mechanics rely on this socket for equipment assembly, mechanical maintenance, and service work where depth and reach are critical to the task.

This hex bit socket is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings wherever a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench is the preferred tool. The 1/4 inch hex interface is a common drive size across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and mechanical assemblies. It is sold individually and is a direct-fit addition to any 1/2 inch drive socket set.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed by hand into any compatible 1/2 inch drive tool. Ensure the square drive detent ball seats fully before applying torque. Do not use impact drivers or pneumatic tools with hand-rated sockets unless the socket is explicitly rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for wear or cracking before each use and replace if deformation is observed.
