Proto Industrial Tools 5572 12 Point Socket Three Quarters Drive

Proto Industrial Tools 5572 is a 12-point socket for a 3/4-inch drive. The part number 5572 identifies this Proto tool. The 12-point interior provides twelve contact points that engage fasteners from multiple angles, which can aid alignment in tight spaces and help reduce slipping when torque is applied. This socket is manufactured by Proto Industrial Tools and is designed for use with drive tools that accept a 3/4-inch socket, ensuring compatibility with standard 3/4-inch ratchets and breaker bars. The 3/4-inch drive size places it in the larger-drive category commonly used for higher-torque fasteners, where the 12-point geometry offers broader engagement relative to hex sockets. By delivering multiple contact points, the 12-point design improves chances of securing a fastener in constrained environments where access is limited.
