Proto J7011MHT Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 11mm

Product Description

The PROTO J7011MHT is a 6-point impact socket designed for demanding fastener removal and installation work. Built from alloy steel, this thin-wall socket accepts a 3/8 inch drive and fits 11mm hex fasteners with a 2-inch overall length. The 6-point contact geometry distributes torque evenly across fastener flats, reducing the chance of rounding under high-impact loads. The thin-wall construction allows access in tight spaces where standard-wall sockets cannot seat. This socket is used by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and plumbers working in close-clearance applications.

This socket suits residential and commercial maintenance, mechanical assembly, and service work involving 11mm hex fasteners. The 3/8 inch drive is common on mid-torque impact wrenches and ratchets used in HVAC equipment service, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical work. The thin-wall profile makes it a practical choice in confined fastener locations found on equipment panels, brackets, and access assemblies.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive accepts standard mid-torque impact wrenches and ratchets
• 11mm socket size fits metric hex fasteners directly
• 6-point drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact loads
• Thin-wall construction improves access in tight clearance locations
• Alloy steel construction rated for impact tool use
• 2 inch overall length suits compact drive configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact-rated socket compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extension bars accepting 11mm hex fasteners.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians performing equipment service. Confirm the drive tool is rated for impact use before attaching this socket to a pneumatic or cordless impact wrench. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the fastener before applying torque to prevent slippage. Inspect the socket and retaining pin or ring for wear before each use.
