Proto J7214H Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 7/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7214H is a 6-point impact socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. It accepts a 7/16 inch hex fastener and measures 1-3/32 inches overall length, making it a compact, heavy-duty option for confined fastening work. The 6-point geometry concentrates torque on the flat faces of the fastener rather than the corners, reducing the risk of rounding under high-output impact loads. This socket is built for professional trades including HVAC installation, mechanical assembly, and general industrial service where impact-rated tooling is required.

This socket is suited for residential and commercial service work involving 7/16 inch hex fasteners. Its compact 1-3/32 inch overall length allows access in tight spaces typical of equipment panels, bracket assemblies, and mechanical enclosures. The 3/8 inch drive size fits the most common mid-range impact wrenches and torque wrenches used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors in daily field use.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive fits standard mid-range impact wrenches and drive tools
• 7/16 inch socket size for hex fasteners common in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical work
• 6-point contact geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact torque
• 1-3/32 inch overall length provides access in confined spaces
• Impact-rated construction for use with pneumatic and electric impact drivers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style impact socket compatible with standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and torque wrenches accepting square drive tooling.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors. Always verify the drive tool is in the off or locked position before attaching or removing the socket. Use only impact-rated sockets with impact wrenches — standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact use and can fracture under load. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use.
