Proto J7224M Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 24mm 6-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7224M is a 24mm impact socket designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built with a 6-point hex drive geometry, it delivers concentrated force directly to fastener flats, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque impact conditions. The overall length measures 1-3/32 inches, keeping it compact for use in tight clearances. Weighing 0.27 pounds, the J7224M is a direct-drive tool suited for mechanical, industrial, and trade applications where metric fasteners require reliable removal or installation under impact loads.

This socket is appropriate for automotive service, industrial maintenance, and general mechanical work where 24mm metric fasteners are encountered. The 3/8 inch drive size makes it compatible with mid-range impact tools commonly used by mechanics and service technicians. Its compact overall length allows access to fasteners in recessed or space-limited locations typical in engine bays, equipment panels, and structural assemblies.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch drive fits standard mid-range impact wrenches and ratchets
• 24mm socket size for metric fastener applications
• 6-point hex drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under impact torque
• Compact 1-3/32 inch overall length for use in tight spaces
• Lightweight at 0.27 pounds for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch drive impact socket compatible with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and extensions from major tool manufacturers.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by mechanics, technicians, and trade professionals working with impact-rated drive tools. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque, and use a retaining pin or ring where required by the tool manufacturer. Do not use impact sockets with standard hand-ratchet torque wrenches unless the tool is rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
