Proto J5532HL 1 Inch 6-point Deep Hand Socket 3/4 Drive

Product Description

The PROTO J5532HL is a deep hand socket designed for professional fastener removal and installation in demanding trade applications. Built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this 6-point socket accepts a 3/4 inch drive and fits a 1 inch fastener. The deep length design at 3.5 inches overall allows it to reach fasteners on extended studs, deep bolt holes, and recessed hardware. It meets ASME B107.110-2012 standards, which confirms dimensional and performance compliance for hand tools in professional use. Mechanical contractors, pipefitters, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary users of this socket size and drive.

This socket is suited for heavy-duty fastener work across industrial, commercial, and mechanical service environments. The 3/4 inch drive pairing is common in applications involving large fasteners on equipment frames, flanges, structural steel, and piping assemblies. The deep socket configuration is especially useful where standard-length sockets cannot achieve full engagement due to stud protrusion or recessed bolt placement. It is intended for manual hand-tool use and is not rated for tethered or dropped-object prevention applications.

Key Features

• 1 inch socket size fits standard 1 inch hex fasteners
• 3/4 inch drive compatible with heavy-duty ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches
• 6-point internal geometry provides full flat-to-flat contact, reducing fastener rounding
• Deep length at 3.5 inches overall reaches recessed or stud-mounted fasteners
• Alloy steel construction with chrome finish for corrosion resistance and durability
• Meets ASME B107.110-2012 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use deep hand socket compatible with standard 3/4 inch square drive ratchets, extensions, and torque wrenches used in professional mechanical and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by licensed mechanics, pipefitters, millwrights, or trained maintenance technicians working on industrial and commercial equipment. Always ensure the drive tool is rated for the torque required by the fastener specification. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is found. This part is not tether capable and should not be used in elevated work environments where dropped-tool protocols require tethered equipment.
