Proto, J5223M-TT, Tethered Socket, 3/8 in Drive; 23 mm; 12 Point; Chrome Finish

This tethered socket from Proto is engineered for high performance, making it an essential addition to any toolkit. Featuring a secure attachment with four detent holes, it ensures that the pin detent engages properly regardless of how it is positioned on the square drive. The innovative TorquePlus internal design reduces fastener rounding and simplifies the process of turning worn or rusted fasteners, thus enhancing both usability and durability. With a sleek chrome finish applied post-manufacturing for superior corrosion resistance, this 23 mm, 12-point socket is particularly well-suited for tackling stubborn or delicate fasteners. Its unique radius-corner design minimizes slippage by distributing stress over a larger contact area, allowing for confident engagement on fasteners without risking damage. This tool not only represents optimal functionality but also reflects Proto's commitment to quality craftsmanship, ensuring reliability in demanding applications.

Features

• 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
• 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
• Chrome finish is applied after the holes are bored for better corrosion resistance
• 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 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 Positive Control System requires a separate tool to attach or remove the socket, meaning it cannot be removed without specific intent
• Proto 12 point sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials
