Proto, J5216B, Socket, 1/2 in; 12-point, 3/8 in Drive, Black Oxide, Metal

Crafted by Proto, this 1/2 inch socket features a 12-point design that enhances its ability to engage with fasteners efficiently, especially those that are stubborn or compromised. The innovative TorquePlus technology applies precise engagement to the fastener flats rather than the corners, significantly reducing the risk of slippage and rounding. This configuration not only minimizes stress on fasteners but also prolongs their life, making it easier to handle worn or rusted components. With its durable black oxide finish and robust metal construction, this socket meets the high demands of any toolbox, ensuring reliable performance and versatility for various tasks.

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.
• Proto 12 Point Sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials.
• 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.
