Proto J7009M Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 9mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7009M is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation using a 3/8 inch square drive. Built for use with pneumatic, electric, and cordless impact wrenches, this socket fits a 9mm hex fastener and measures 2-47/64 inches overall length. The 6-point design maximizes contact surface on each flat of the fastener, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact conditions. Weighing 0.2 pounds, it is a practical addition to any professional impact socket set used in automotive, mechanical, or general industrial service work.

This socket is suited for professional technicians working in automotive service bays, fleet maintenance shops, and general mechanical repair environments. The 3/8 inch drive size makes it a practical choice for medium-torque applications where a compact drive is preferred over a larger 1/2 inch drive. The 9mm socket size covers a common fastener dimension found across passenger vehicle and light commercial equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of fasteners with this socket should be performed by qualified technicians using appropriately rated impact tools. Always confirm the drive tool torque rating is compatible with the fastener specification before operation. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and remove from service if damage is observed. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchets in high-torque applications where impact-rated tooling is specified.
