Proto, J5226M-TT, Tethered Socket, 3/8 in Drive, 26 mm, 12 Point

The Proto Tethered Socket, with its 3/8 inch drive and 26 mm size, is engineered for high-performance applications, thanks to its innovative TorquePlus design. This configuration ensures quick and easy engagement with fastener flats, rather than corners, effectively minimizing the risk of rounding and extending the life of your fasteners. Ideal for tackling stubborn or damaged fasteners, this 12-point socket is also well-suited for those made from softer materials, making it a versatile addition to any toolbox. Featuring a chrome finish that enhances corrosion resistance and a radius-corner design that distributes contact stresses, this socket not only facilitates easier turning of worn fasteners but also minimizes slippage during use. The Positive Control System adds a layer of safety, requiring a dedicated tool for socket attachment or removal, and its four detent holes ensure proper engagement no matter the orientation on the square drive, enhancing user convenience and reliability in demanding conditions.

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
• 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 12 point sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials
• 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 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
