Proto J7214S Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 7/16 in 8 Point

Product Description

The PROTO J7214S is an 8-point impact socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. It features a 7/16 inch socket size and a compact 1 inch overall length, making it well suited for fastener work in tight or confined spaces. Weighing just 0.1 pounds, this socket is built for repeated use under the mechanical stress of impact tooling. Licensed tradespeople and industrial mechanics rely on this type of socket for efficient, high-torque fastener driving where a standard chrome socket would fail under impact load.

This socket fits standard 3/8 inch drive impact tools and is appropriate for automotive, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, and general mechanical maintenance tasks. The 8-point design accommodates both square and hex fasteners, expanding its usefulness across a range of fastener types encountered in trade and industrial service environments. Its short overall length of 1 inch suits installations where clearance is limited around the fastener head.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive compatible with standard impact wrenches and ratchets
• 7/16 inch socket size for common trade and industrial fastener applications
• 8-point geometry fits both square and hex fasteners
• Compact 1 inch overall length for use in tight spaces
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for reduced tool fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service socket for use with 3/8 inch drive impact tools in trade and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be used with impact-rated drive tools. Do not substitute chrome hand-tool sockets in impact applications, as they are not rated for the stress. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if any deformation is present.
