It accepts a 3\/8 inch fastener and measures 3.25 inches overall length, giving technicians the reach needed for recessed fasteners without sacrificing control. Built for the torque demands of pneumatic and electric impact tools, this socket is suited for automotive, industrial, and heavy equipment applications where standard chrome sockets would crack or shatter under impact loading. At 0.43 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece tool intended for professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket fits into service workflows where a 1\/2 inch drive impact tool is already in use and a 3\/8 inch fastener needs to be driven or removed. Common scenarios include suspension work, drivetrain service, equipment assembly lines, and utility maintenance. The 12-point configuration allows engagement at more clock positions than a 6-point socket, which can be useful in tight quarters where full rotation of the tool is not possible. It is sold individually and ships as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch drive fits standard impact wrenches and torque multipliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch socket size for common fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12-point geometry allows engagement at multiple clock positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.25 inch overall length provides reach for recessed or deep-set fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImpact-rated construction handles pneumatic and electric impact tool output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style impact socket for use with 1\/2 inch drive impact wrenches in automotive, industrial, and mechanical service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove only with 1\/2 inch drive impact tools or torque wrenches rated for impact use. Do not use impact sockets with standard chrome ratchets or breaker bars not rated for impact service. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and the fastener before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use and replace if deformation is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Points\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.43 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PROTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: J7312\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROTO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543144366386,"sku":"J7312","price":23.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ac3037a9c71c03aec6b1a1aafb839249.jpg?v=1785916408","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/proto-j7312-impact-socket-1-2-in-drive-3-8-in-12-point","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
