Proto J6912PF Power Socket 1/4 in Drive 3/8 in Hex

Product Description

The PROTO J6912PF is a 6-point power socket designed for use with 1/4 inch drive tools. It accepts a 3/8 inch hex fastener and features a magnetic retention design that holds fasteners securely during use. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance for everyday shop and field conditions. Built for professional tradespeople, this socket is a compact, reliable option for fastening tasks in tight spaces where a standard drive tool is the right call. The 6-point contact pattern reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under load, making it a practical choice for high-repetition work.

This socket is suited for mechanical, electrical, and general maintenance applications where 3/8 inch hex fasteners are common. The 1/4 inch drive size makes it compatible with standard 1/4 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and impact-rated accessories. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals working on equipment panels, junction boxes, and mechanical assemblies that use hex-head hardware.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand as part of a 1/4 inch drive tool set. Always verify the fastener hex size matches the socket before applying torque to avoid rounding.
