Proto J5532 Hand Socket 1 in 12-point 3/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5532 is a 1-inch, 12-point hand socket designed for use with a 3/4-inch drive ratchet or breaker bar. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this standard-length socket delivers the corrosion resistance and surface hardness required for heavy-duty fastener work. The 12-point configuration allows engagement at 30-degree increments, providing added flexibility in tight or restricted access areas. At 2 inches in overall length, the J5532 meets ASME B107.110-2012 standards and is suited for professional use in industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications.

This socket is intended for use by mechanics, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and other trade professionals working on heavy equipment, industrial machinery, or large fastener applications that require a 3/4-inch drive setup. The 1-inch socket size is commonly encountered on structural bolting, equipment mounting hardware, and drivetrain components. The standard-length profile fits most drive setups without the need for an extension in open-access situations.

Key Features

• 12-point design allows engagement at 30-degree intervals for restricted-access work
• Alloy steel construction provides strength and durability under high torque
• Chrome-plated finish resists corrosion and simplifies cleaning
• Standard-length profile at 2 inches overall length
• Meets ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4-inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches. Compatible with standard 3/4-inch drive extensions and universal joints.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by mechanics and maintenance technicians working with manual drive tools. Always ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent rounding. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove it from service if damage is found. This part is not rated for impact driver use; use impact-rated sockets with pneumatic or electric impact tools.
