Proto J78414MP Impact Socket 3/8 in Drive 14mm 6-point

Product Description

The PROTO J78414MP is a 14mm, 6-point impact socket with a 3/8 inch drive, built for use with pneumatic and electric impact wrenches in demanding trade and industrial applications. Constructed from alloy steel, it delivers the toughness needed to handle high-torque fastener removal and installation without cracking or rounding. The hex drive style and 6-point contact geometry reduce the chance of fastener damage under load. At 2-19/32 inches overall length, it fits standard depth applications. Meets ASME B107.2 specification, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use. Weighs 0.3 pounds. This socket is appropriate for mechanics, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians who work with impact drivers regularly.

The PROTO J78414MP suits residential and commercial service work where a 3/8 inch drive impact socket in 14mm metric is needed. Typical applications include equipment mounting hardware, motor and compressor fasteners, panel and bracket bolts, and general mechanical assembly. The 6-point design concentrates force on the flats of the fastener rather than the corners, which is especially useful when working with partially worn or tight fasteners in confined service environments.

Key Features

• 14mm socket size with 3/8 inch drive for compatibility with standard 3/8 inch impact wrenches and ratchets
• 6-point hex drive geometry reduces fastener rounding under high torque
• Alloy steel construction provides impact-rated durability
• Meets ASME B107.2 specification for socket dimensions and performance
• Overall length of 2-19/32 inches suits standard-depth fastener access
• Lightweight at 0.3 pounds for reduced user fatigue during extended use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8 inch drive impact wrenches, air ratchets, and hand ratchets. Fits standard 14mm metric fasteners in a wide range of mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8 inch drive impact wrench or ratchet. Always confirm the socket is fully seated on the drive anvil and fastener before applying torque. Inspect the socket for cracks or deformation before each use and remove from service if damage is found. Impact sockets are not rated for use with torque multipliers or breaker bars beyond the tool manufacturer's specified limits.
