XCELITE Sockets

Proto manufactures ASME rated 6- and 8-point sockets that are ideal for use on fasteners that are stubborn or damaged or those that are made from soft materials. These sockets feature high-performance TorquePlus drive configuration which allows for quick & easy socket engagement to the fastener flats without involving the corners. This configuration has a radius-corner design that helps to shift the contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distribute these contact stresses over a wide area of the socket. This effectively minimises accidental slippage. The TorquePlus internal design also helps extend the tool's life by minimising fastener rounding and allows the user to more easily work with worn, rounded or rusted fasteners.

Proto 1/2 inch drive SAE sockets provide an ideal solution for turning worn, rounded or rusted fasteners made from soft materials. The TorquePlus design of these sockets has a high-performance drive mechanism which allows quick and easy socket engagement to the fastener flats and reduces fastener rounding. These Proto sockets feature a radius corner configuration which helps in shifting the contact area and stress away from the fastener corners and distributes the contact stresses over a large area of the socket, thereby reducing slippage. Choose from a wide range of these drive sockets available in deep and standard socket depth options on Raptor Supplies.
