Fixman 3/8" Drive Deep Socket 8mm

At a Glance: 8mm metric deep socket with 3/8" drive for use with compatible ratchets, extensions and socket accessories

The Fixman FIX H0501M 3/8" drive deep socket is a practical socket accessory for tightening and loosening 8mm metric nuts, bolts and hex fasteners. The deep socket design provides extra reach compared with a standard socket, making it useful for recessed fasteners, longer studs and applications where a shallow socket may not seat properly. Designed for compatible 3/8" drive ratchets, extensions and handles, it is a useful addition to workshop, automotive, maintenance, assembly and DIY toolkits.

Deep socket reach for 8mm fastening work

The deep socket format helps reach fasteners positioned on longer threads or in recessed areas, while the 3/8" drive size offers a practical balance of strength, control and compatibility for regular workshop fastening tasks.

Extra Information

Use only with compatible 3/8" drive tools and accessories.
Always confirm the fastener size before use to avoid rounding or damaging the fastener.

Use an extension where extra reach is needed, but avoid side loading the socket.
For stubborn fasteners, apply controlled force and avoid using excessive leverage that may damage the fastener or tool.

Pro Tips

Use this deep socket when a normal shallow socket cannot reach over a longer thread or into a recessed area.
Seat the socket fully before turning to reduce slipping and rounding.
Pair with a 3/8" extension for extra reach in tight or awkward spaces.
Store individual sockets on a socket rail so the 8mm stays easy to find when you need it.

Attach the deep socket to a compatible 3/8" drive ratchet, handle or extension.
Place the socket fully over the fastener.
