Proto J7015MHT Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 15mm 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7015MHT is a 6-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener work in professional trade and industrial environments. Built from alloy steel with a thin-wall profile, it fits a 3/8 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet and accepts 15mm hex fasteners. The overall length is 2 inches, keeping it compact for use in tight spaces. The 6-point contact geometry reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under high-torque impact conditions. This socket is suited for HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture installation, electrical panel work, and general mechanical service where a reliable 15mm drive is required.

This socket is used across residential and commercial service applications wherever 15mm fasteners are encountered. Typical scenarios include equipment mounting, panel fastening, and mechanical assembly tasks performed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades. The thin-wall design allows access in recessed or closely spaced bolt patterns where standard-wall sockets cannot fit. The 3/8 inch drive size is common on mid-torque impact guns and hand ratchets used daily in the field.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction for impact-rated durability under high-torque use
• Thin-wall profile provides access in tight or recessed fastener locations
• 6-point socket geometry reduces fastener rounding compared to 12-point designs
• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard impact wrenches and hand ratchets
• Compact 2-inch overall length suits confined work areas
• 15mm hex size covers a common fastener dimension across mechanical and trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use impact socket for 3/8 inch drive impact tools requiring a 15mm 6-point socket.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet rated for impact use. Always verify the drive tool and socket are fully engaged before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact sockets on non-impact hand tools beyond their rated torque capacity.
