Proto J7714HT Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 7/16 in 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J7714HT is a 3/8 inch drive impact socket designed for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches in professional trade and industrial service applications. Built from alloy steel with a thin wall design, it drives 7/16 inch hex fasteners using a 6-point contact pattern that reduces rounding on high-torque fasteners. The overall length of 1.75 inches makes it compact enough for confined-space work. At 0.11 pounds, it is lightweight without sacrificing the structural integrity required for repeated impact use. Licensed tradespeople and mechanics reach for this socket when precision and durability are both required on the job.

This socket suits residential and commercial service environments where 3/8 inch drive impact tools are standard. The thin wall profile allows access to fasteners in tight or recessed locations that standard-wall sockets cannot reach. Common applications include HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical service where 7/16 inch hex fasteners are encountered. It is sold individually and is appropriate for single-socket replacement or adding to an existing socket set.

Installation Notes

This socket is intended for use by qualified tradespeople operating 3/8 inch drive impact or hand-drive tools. Always verify the drive size and fastener size match before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Do not use impact-rated sockets with hand-drive tools beyond their rated capacity, and never use standard chrome sockets in place of impact-rated sockets on impact wrenches.
