Proto J7314MHT Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 14mm

Product Description

The PROTO J7314MHT is a 14mm, 6-point impact socket designed for 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and rattle guns. Built from alloy steel in a thin-wall configuration, it delivers the torsional strength needed for high-torque fastener removal and installation without sacrificing clearance in tight spaces. The overall length is 3-1/4 inches, making it well-suited for standard-depth fastener access. This socket is a practical choice for automotive technicians, fleet mechanics, heavy equipment service techs, and industrial maintenance professionals who rely on impact tooling daily.

This socket fits standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches commonly used in automotive repair, diesel service, and general mechanical maintenance. The thin-wall design allows use in recessed or close-tolerance fastener locations where a standard-wall socket would not clear surrounding components. The 6-point hex drive pattern engages fastener flats fully, reducing the risk of rounding under high-torque conditions. It is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever a 14mm metric fastener is encountered.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive accepts standard impact wrenches and breaker bars
• 14mm, 6-point hex drive for full flat-to-flat fastener engagement
• Thin-wall construction improves clearance in tight or recessed fastener locations
• Alloy steel construction provides impact-rated torsional strength
• 3-1/4 inch overall length suits standard-depth fastener access

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches, torque wrenches, and breaker bars. Fits any application requiring a 14mm metric impact socket with a 6-point hex drive pattern.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should be installed and removed by qualified mechanics using appropriate impact-rated tooling. Always verify the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Do not use impact sockets with hand-drive torque tools that specify chrome or non-impact sockets, as material and wall thickness differ. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found.
