Proto, J5023M-TT, Tethered Socket, 3/8 in Drive; 23 mm; 12 Point; Metric; Chrome Finish

Engineered for precision and performance, the Proto tethered socket is designed specifically for those demanding rigorous tasks while ensuring safety and reliability. With its innovative Positive Control System, this socket requires a separate tool for attachment and removal, making accidental disconnection virtually impossible. The TorquePlus design enhances the engagement between the socket and fasteners by focusing contact on the flats, significantly reducing wear while minimizing slippage, even on stubborn or damaged fasteners. Crafted with a durable chrome finish, the socket stands up to corrosion, ensuring longevity and continued performance. Its unique radius-corner configuration distributes stress more evenly, allowing users to effectively manage rounded or worn fasteners with ease. Designed for versatility, the tethered socket includes four detent holes for compatible pin engagement, making it an essential tool for mechanics and technicians who emphasize both functionality and safety in their work.

Features

• The Positive Control System requires a separate tool to attach or remove the socket, meaning it cannot be removed without specific intent
• The TorquePlus design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners
• Chrome finish is applied after the holes are bored for better corrosion resistance
• 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
• 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
