Proto, J5009M-TT, Tethered Deep Socket, 9 mm; 12 Point, 3/8 in Drive, Chrome Finish

Engineered for both performance and durability, this tethered deep socket features a 12-point design that accommodates a variety of fasteners, making it ideal for tackling stubborn or damaged components. The innovative TorquePlus design enhances socket engagement by connecting with the fastener flats rather than corners, which minimizes slippage and reduces the risk of fastener rounding. A chrome finish not only provides robust corrosion resistance but is also applied post-drilling for optimal surface integrity. Additionally, the socket's Positive Control System ensures secure attachment and removal, enhancing safety during use while allowing users to effectively manage worn or rusted fasteners. With its thoughtful construction, this tool is a reliable addition for professionals requiring precision and strength in their toolkit.

Features

• The TorquePlus design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners
• The Positive Control System requires a separate tool to attach or remove the socket, meaning it cannot be removed without specific intent
• The TorquePlus configuration employs a radius-corner design, shifting contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributing contact stresses over a large area of the socket, minimizing slippage
• Chrome finish is applied after the holes are bored for better corrosion resistance
• The TorquePlus internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners
• Proto Tethered Tool Sockets are manufactured with four detent holes so that the pin detent will engage correctly regardless of the direction the socket is placed on the square drive
• Proto 12 point sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials
