Proto J7214HF Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 7/16 in 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7214HF is a 6-point hex drive impact socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. Built from alloy steel with a magnetic design, this socket measures 7/16 inch in size and 1-3/32 inches overall length, making it a compact option for tight-access fastening work. The 6-point geometry maximizes contact area on fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding. It is suited for professional mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians who rely on impact tooling for daily production work and service calls.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches used in residential and commercial service applications. The 7/16 inch size is common in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture hardware, and light mechanical assemblies. The magnetic feature helps retain the socket on fasteners during overhead or awkward-angle installations, improving single-hand workflow efficiency. It is packaged individually and is well suited for adding to an existing socket set or replacing a worn or lost size.
