Proto, J7716HT, Impact Socket, 3/8 in Drive; Deep; Thin Wall; SAE
The Proto Impact Socket is engineered for high performance, presenting features that enhance efficiency and accessibility in demanding tasks. Its TorquePlus configuration utilizes a radius-corner design that shifts stress away from the fastener corners, thus minimizing slippage while extending the life of your fasteners. This 3/8 in drive model is particularly beneficial for tackling stubborn or damaged fasteners, as well as those made from softer materials, thanks to its 6-point design. Designed as a thin wall socket, it is lightweight and optimized for use in confined spaces, allowing for easy access to fasteners in tight areas—a common requirement in applications such as tire service. With extra depth for improved reach and quick engagement through chamfered service ends, it proves to be an indispensable tool in both professional and personal toolkits. The inclusion of a groove for a retaining ring and pin enhances security during use, ensuring that the socket remains firmly attached to the power tool anvil.
Features
- 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.
- Proto 6 Point Impact Sockets are ideal for use on stubborn or damaged fasteners, and also on fasteners made from soft materials.
- Chamfered service ends for quick and positive fastener engagement.
- Thin wall sockets are lightweight. Designed to fit into smaller spaces. Thinner walls help improve productivity by making it easier to gain access to fasteners in confined spaces.
- Specifically designed for light clearance applications. Reduced wall thickness helps improve access to fasteners in restricted areas. All Impact sockets feature one through hole and a groove to accept a retaining ring and pin to secure the socket to the power tool anvil. The
- 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.
- Extra deep length helps improve access in confined areas. Often used in application where fasteners are close together, such as tire service
- TorquePlus design is a high performance drive configuration which allows for quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats, not the corners.
