Proto J7413MT Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 13mm 12-pt

Product Description

The PROTO J7413MT is a 12-point impact socket designed for high-torque fastening and removal applications. Built for a 1/2 inch drive, it accepts a 13mm fastener and measures 1.5 inches in overall length. The 12-point geometry allows engagement at 30-degree increments, giving technicians more positioning options in tight quarters. At 0.15 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece tool suited for professional use in automotive, mechanical, and industrial service environments. Licensed tradespeople and service technicians rely on impact-rated sockets like this one to handle the rotational force produced by pneumatic and electric impact wrenches without fracturing or rounding fasteners.

This socket is appropriate for use in automotive repair, equipment maintenance, and industrial assembly where 13mm fasteners are common. The 1/2 inch drive size fits mid-range impact wrenches widely used in professional shops and field service work. Its compact 1.5 inch overall length makes it practical for confined installation points where longer sockets would not clear surrounding components.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive for use with standard mid-range impact wrenches
• 13mm socket size for metric fastener applications
• 12-point design allows engagement at 30-degree increments
• 1.5 inch overall length suits confined fastener locations
• Impact-rated construction handles high-torque tool output
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for extended use without fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use impact socket compatible with standard 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets accepting 13mm metric fasteners.

Installation Notes

Impact sockets should only be paired with impact-rated drive tools. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and never substitute a standard chrome hand-tool socket in place of an impact-rated socket on a pneumatic or electric impact wrench. Ensure the drive detent or retention ring fully seats before applying torque to prevent the socket from ejecting during operation.
