Proto J78410MP Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 10mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J78410MP is a 10mm, 6-point impact socket designed for 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches and ratchets. Built from alloy steel, it delivers the toughness needed for high-torque fastening and removal in demanding shop or field environments. The hex drive style and universal configuration make it a practical choice across a wide range of fastener applications. At 2.5 inches overall length, it fits standard access points without excessive bulk. Licensed mechanics, automotive technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary users of this socket.

This socket is suited for automotive, heavy equipment, and general industrial maintenance applications where impact-rated tooling is required. The 6-point contact pattern reduces the risk of rounding fastener heads under high torque, making it appropriate for stubborn or corroded fasteners. It meets ASME B107.2 specifications, confirming it is manufactured to recognized dimensional and performance standards for impact sockets. Typical use cases include engine work, suspension service, and structural fastener installation in both shop and field settings.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive impact wrench or hand ratchet rated for the application. Ensure the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or wear before each use, and do not use hand-socket-rated tools in place of this impact socket. Refer to applicable workplace safety standards when working on vehicles or equipment under load.
