Proto JRR37575 Socket Retaining Ring 3/8 in Drive

Product Description

The PROTO JRR37575 is a socket retaining ring designed to secure sockets onto 3/8 inch drive tools during use. The ring seats into the groove of the socket, preventing accidental disengagement from the drive tool during torque application. With a 3/4 inch groove diameter, a 0.825 inch ring diameter, and a 0.075 inch height, this is a precision-fit retaining component. It is used by mechanics, industrial maintenance technicians, and tool service professionals who need reliable socket retention in hand-tool and impact applications.

This retaining ring fits 3/8 inch drive sockets with a 3/4 inch groove diameter. It is appropriate for use in automotive repair, industrial maintenance, and general mechanical service environments where socket security on the drive tool is required. The compact size and low profile make it suited for both standard and confined-space applications where socket retention is critical to workflow efficiency and safety.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of socket retaining rings is typically performed by mechanics or tool technicians using a retaining ring plier or equivalent hand tool. Ensure the socket and drive tool are not under load before removing or installing the ring. Seat the ring fully into the groove until it is flush and fully engaged before returning the socket to service. Inspect the ring for deformation or cracking if it has been subjected to impact loads.
