Proto J7216PF Power Socket 3/8 in Drive 1/2 in Hex

Product Description

The PROTO J7216PF is a 6-point power socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive ratchets, extensions, and impact-style hand tools. It features a 1/2 inch hex size and a magnetic design that holds fasteners securely during installation and removal. The black finish provides corrosion resistance in shop and field environments. This socket is built for trade professionals including HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical contractors who need a reliable, durable socket for high-torque fastener work on equipment and structural assemblies.

This power socket suits residential and commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive tool is the preferred choice for accessibility and torque range. The magnetic retention feature is especially useful in overhead or confined-space installations where dropped fasteners create safety or rework issues. It fits standard 3/8 inch drive ratchets, breaker bars, and torque wrenches commonly found in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade toolkits.
