Proto J6514H Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 7/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J6514H is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. It accepts a 7/16 inch fastener and features a hex drive style for positive engagement under torque. With an overall length of 2 inches, it fits into tight fastener locations common in mechanical and electrical assemblies. Weighing 0.12 pounds, the socket is lightweight without sacrificing the wall thickness needed to handle impact loads. This socket is suited for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades who need a reliable drive socket for production or service work.

The J6514H is a standard-duty impact socket appropriate for residential and light commercial service environments. It is commonly used when driving or removing 7/16 inch hex fasteners on equipment panels, brackets, conduit fittings, and mechanical assemblies. The 2 inch overall length keeps the tool profile low in confined spaces. Its 1/4 inch square drive pairs with compact impact drivers and ratchets widely carried in field service kits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople including HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers. Always ensure the drive tool is powered down or the air supply is disconnected before changing sockets. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque to prevent ejection under load. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if wear is visible.
