Proto, J5212M-TT, Tool Tether Accessory, 3/8 in Drive, 12 mm, 12 Point

The Proto Tool Tether Accessory is an essential addition for any professional looking to enhance safety in high-work environments. This 3/8 inch drive socket with a 12 mm, 12-point design is not only crafted with four detent holes for secure socket attachment but also incorporates the innovative Positive Control System, which ensures intentional removal or attachment by requiring a separate tool. Ideal for tackling stubborn or damaged fasteners, the unique TorquePlus design minimizes wear by engaging fasteners at the flat rather than the corners, extending their lifespan and enabling easier handling of rounded or rusted fasteners. Finished with a chrome coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, this accessory is tailored to meet the demands of any demanding toolkit, especially in heavy-duty applications.

Features

• The Positive Control System requires a separate tool to attach or remove the socket, meaning it cannot be removed without specific intent
• 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
• 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 internal design minimizes fastener rounding, helps to extend fastener life, and allows the user to more easily turn worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners
• 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
