Proto J7314 Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 7/16 in 12-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7314 is a 12-point impact socket designed for heavy-duty fastener removal and installation in trade and industrial applications. Built for use with a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet, it accepts a 7/16 inch fastener and measures 3.25 inches in overall length. The 12-point configuration allows engagement from more positions around the fastener head, which is useful in tight or restricted access areas. This socket is intended for use by mechanics, millwrights, electricians, and other trade professionals who rely on impact-rated tooling for production and service work.

The J7314 is suited for automotive, mechanical, and industrial maintenance tasks where a 1/2 inch drive impact socket in the 7/16 inch size is required. Its overall length of 3.25 inches provides enough reach for standard fastener depths without excessive extension. It is appropriate for use in shop environments, field service, and panel or equipment assembly where fastener access and speed are priorities.

• 12-point design allows more engagement positions for use in confined spaces
• 3.25 inch overall length provides reach for standard fastener depths
• Weighs 0.42 pounds for a balance of durability and hand fatigue reduction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit impact socket for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, ratchets, and breaker bars accepting standard square drive tooling.

Installation Notes

This socket should be used only with impact-rated drive tools. Do not use impact sockets with torque-limiting or precision torque wrenches unless the tool is rated for impact-style sockets. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use, and never use a damaged socket under impact load. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and tool manufacturer guidelines for impact tool operation.
