Proto J6910PF Power Socket 1/4 in Drive 5/16 in Hex

Product Description

The PROTO J6910PF is a 1/4 inch drive power socket designed for fastener removal and installation in tight-access applications. This 6-point socket features a 5/16 inch hex size and is built with a magnetic design for secure fastener retention during use. The black finish provides corrosion resistance suited for shop and field environments. It is a standard-duty hand tool used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople who work with hex-head fasteners in panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, and mechanical components.

This socket fits standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extension bars, and power drivers. The magnetic retention feature is particularly useful when working overhead or in confined spaces where dropped fasteners cause delays. The 6-point design concentrates drive force on flat hex surfaces, reducing fastener rounding under torque. It is well suited for residential and light commercial service work where 5/16 inch hex fasteners are commonly encountered on access panels, electrical boxes, and equipment covers.

Installation Notes

This socket is a hand tool and does not require installation in the traditional sense. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque. When used with a power driver, select appropriate torque settings to avoid fastener damage. Inspect the magnetic insert periodically to confirm secure fastener retention before working in overhead or hard-to-reach areas.
