The Proto Lab Tool Kit — 9 pieces, one order
What a laboratory or facility bench actually needs on hand: a 3/8in drive socket set and the ratchet that turns it, an adjustable wrench, slip-joint pliers, an 11-in-1 screwdriver, hex keys, a ball peen hammer and an aligning pry bar, in a Proto tool roll. 6 of the 9 components are made in the United States.
3/8in drive socket setThe bolt sizes on benches, shelving, pumps and instrument frames
Slip-joint pliersGrips round fittings, tubing and hose clamps without a fixed jaw
11-in-1 screwdriverInstrument panels, enclosures and bench hardware in one handle
Hex key setThe socket-head fasteners on benches, chairs, shelving and equipment guardsAssembled by LabSupplies.com from separately stocked Proto part numbers. Not a Proto-branded kit. Every component is listed with its own part number and can be ordered on its own.
Tool Storage
Roller Cabinets, Top Chests, Workstations and Bench Tops
Roller cabinets, top chests, side lockers and complete workstations, with hardwood or stainless steel tops. Drawer count, cabinet width, drawer load rating and overall dimensions are published on each listing, so a cabinet can be specified against the floor space and the weight it has to carry rather than chosen from a photograph. Foam inserts are matched by part number to the set they are cut for.
Master Sets
Foam-Kitted Master Sets and Multi-Piece Kits
Complete maintenance sets from small kits up to foam-kitted master sets supplied with their own workstation. Every set listing publishes the piece count and the individual sizes included, so a set can be checked against what a bench already holds before it is ordered — and each component remains available as its own part number afterwards.
Torque & Precision
Torque Wrenches, Pullers, Extractors and Gauges
Micrometer and electronic torque wrenches with their range, drive and accuracy published, plus gear and bearing pullers, screw extractors, feeler gauges and inspection mirrors. Where Proto states a calibration or accuracy specification, that specification appears on the listing rather than being left to a category description.
Sockets & Drive
Impact and Chrome Sockets, Ratchets, Extensions
1/4in through 1in drive, 6- and 12-point, chrome and impact, standard and deep. Drive size, point count, SAE or metric opening and overall length are on every listing, so a socket can be matched to an existing set by specification instead of by eye.
Wrenches
Combination, Box, Open End and Ratcheting
Combination, double box, open end, obstruction and ratcheting patterns in SAE and metric, including Proto's full-polish and black oxide finishes. Opening size, point count and overall length are published per part number.
Striking, Pliers & Drivers
Hammers, Punches, Chisels, Pliers and Hex Keys
Ball peen and dead blow hammers, pin and centre punches, cold chisels, pry bars, pliers, hex and Torx keys, screwdrivers and magnetic retrievers. Head weight, length and material come from Proto's own specification.
Ordering by Proto part number
Proto part numbers begin with J — J1024A, J5450XLQR, J47303-1B. Each part number appears in the product title and in the specification table, so searching it goes straight to the item.
Proto — questions we get
Are these genuine Proto tools?
Yes. Every item is genuine, factory-packaged Stanley-Proto product supplied through our distribution channel — nothing repackaged or relabelled. LabSupplies.com is an independent distributor and is not affiliated with Stanley Black & Decker or the Proto brand.
Where are Proto tools made?
Most of the line is made in the United States — 1,736 of the 2,087 items we stock, or 83%, carry a United States country of origin. The remainder are made in Taiwan, France, Spain, Italy, Mexico or China. The country of origin for each individual item is published in the specification table on its product page.
Can I order by part number?
Yes. Every listing carries the Proto part number in the title and in a specification table on the page, so a part number taken from a drawing, an existing tool or a purchase order will find the item directly through search. Proto part numbers begin with J.
What is the difference between Proto and other Stanley brands?
Proto is Stanley Black & Decker's industrial and professional line, specified for maintenance, aerospace and plant work rather than consumer use. It is a separate catalogue from DeWalt, Stanley or Mac Tools, with its own part numbering and its own warranty.
What does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated at checkout from the order total — $12 on orders under $100, and 12% of the order value at $100 and above. There is no separate handling charge.
Do you publish the UPC?
Yes. Every Proto item we stock carries a UPC, and it appears in the specification table on the product page and in the product data feed.
