Proto J7424MT Impact Socket 1/2 in Drive 24mm 12-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7424MT is a 12-point impact socket designed for use with 1/2 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built for the demands of professional trade work, this 24mm socket features a 1.5 inch overall length (OAL) that suits a wide range of fastener applications in tight or standard-clearance spaces. Weighing 0.32 pounds, the J7424MT is a solid, compact tool suited for automotive, mechanical, and industrial technicians who need reliable torque transfer without socket slippage or rounding under impact load.

This socket is a practical choice for automotive repair, fleet maintenance, heavy equipment service, and general mechanical work where a 24mm 12-point impact socket is needed. The 1/2 inch drive size is the standard for mid-range to heavy-duty impact work, making this socket compatible with the most common impact wrenches found in professional shops and service vehicles. Its 12-point design allows for more engagement positions on hex fasteners, which is useful when working in confined areas with limited swing arc.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch drive fits standard mid-duty and heavy-duty impact wrenches and ratchets
• 24mm socket size for metric fastener applications
• 12-point design provides 30-degree incremental engagement positions
• 1.5 inch overall length for a compact, low-profile fit in restricted spaces
• Lightweight at 0.32 pounds without sacrificing structural integrity under impact loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for 1/2 inch drive impact tool sets requiring a 24mm 12-point socket.

Installation Notes

This socket is installed and removed by hand onto any 1/2 inch square drive impact wrench, air ratchet, or hand ratchet. Always confirm the fastener size matches the socket before applying torque to avoid rounding. Use impact-rated sockets exclusively with pneumatic or electric impact wrenches — standard chrome sockets are not rated for impact use. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and replace if any damage is present.
