Proto, J5220-TT, Tethered Tool Socket, 3/8 in Drive; 5/8 in, 12 Point, Chrome Finish

The Proto Tethered Tool Socket is expertly designed for versatility and durability, featuring a 3/8 inch drive and a 5/8 inch 12-point configuration. This innovative socket employs a TorquePlus design, ensuring easy engagement with fasteners by making contact with the flats rather than the corners, which minimizes the risk of rounding off stubborn or worn fasteners. Its chrome finish enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. Built for safety and efficiency, the socket's Positive Control System allows attachment and removal only with a specific tool, providing peace of mind during use. Additionally, the socket is equipped with four detent holes to ensure secure engagement in any orientation, demonstrating Proto's commitment to quality and precision in industrial tools. Whether you're working with soft materials or tackling rusted hardware, this tethered socket is a reliable companion in your toolkit.

Features

• 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
• 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 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
• 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
