Proto J5524M 24mm 3/4 Drive 12-point Chrome Hand Socket

Product Description

The PROTO J5524M is a 24 mm, 12-point hand socket designed for professional-grade hand tool applications. Built on a 3/4 inch drive, this standard-length socket delivers the torque capacity needed for heavy fasteners found in industrial, mechanical, and structural work. The chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and makes cleanup straightforward after use. At 0.41 pounds, the J5524M is a solid, dense tool that holds up to the demands of daily trade use. The 12-point configuration provides more engagement positions than a 6-point, making it easier to place the socket in tight quarters. Machinists, millwrights, heavy equipment technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary users.

This socket suits applications where 3/4 inch drive torque output is required and a 24 mm fastener head is the target. Common scenarios include heavy machinery maintenance, structural bolt work, and industrial equipment assembly or disassembly. The standard length profile fits most drive extensions and ratchets in a typical 3/4 inch drive set. It is well-suited for shop environments, field service trucks, and maintenance facilities where metric fastener sizes are the norm.

Key Features

• 24 mm socket size for metric fastener engagement
• 3/4 inch drive for high-torque applications
• 12-point design allows more placement positions on fastener heads
• Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning
• Standard length profile for compatibility with common 3/4 inch drive accessories

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition to 3/4 inch drive hand socket sets requiring 24 mm metric coverage.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal work with this socket should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with 3/4 inch drive tooling. Always confirm fastener head size before applying torque to avoid rounding. Use appropriate drive ratchets, breaker bars, or torque wrenches rated for 3/4 inch drive. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if deformation is visible.
