Proto, J77274P, Impact Socket, 3/8 in Drive; 6-Point, 7/16 in, 2.000 in Length

Engineered by Proto, this impact socket is a vital addition for those dealing with stubborn or damaged fasteners. The 6-point design efficiently engages with fastener flats, which enhances the overall torque transfer and minimizes the risk of slippage — a crucial feature when working with worn, rounded, or rusted fasteners. With its innovative TorquePlus configuration, stress is evenly distributed across the contact area, helping to prolong the life of both the socket and the fastener itself. Additionally, the socket boasts a ball and spring mechanism that permits a 30° working angle, allowing for smooth, 360° rotation and versatility in tight spaces. This 3/8 inch-drive impact socket embodies a blend of performance and durability, making it an essential tool for any mechanic or DIY enthusiast.

Features

• Proto 6 Point Impact 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
• Ball and spring design which allows for a 30° working angle
• 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
• Smooth 360° rotation
• 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
