Proto J6905M Impact Socket 1/4 in Drive 5mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J6905M is a 1/4 inch drive impact socket designed for use with hex drive impact tools. Built to a 6-point internal geometry, it delivers reliable torque transfer on 5mm fasteners with reduced risk of rounding. The socket measures 7/8 inch in overall length, placing it in the standard-length category. It is suited for mechanics, maintenance technicians, and service professionals working with small-fastener applications in tight or production environments where a 1/4 inch drive impact tool is the tool of choice.

This socket fits into general mechanical and assembly work wherever 5mm hex fasteners are encountered. The 1/4 inch drive size makes it compatible with compact impact wrenches and ratchets commonly used in automotive, HVAC equipment service, and light industrial maintenance. The standard overall length of 7/8 inch suits typical open-access fastener locations without requiring an extension in most service scenarios.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet rated for the fastener application. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fasteners in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use hand-socket adapters on impact tools unless the adapter is impact-rated.
