Fixman 3/8 Inch Drive Deep Socket 17mm

At a Glance: 17mm deep hex socket with 3/8 inch square drive for reaching compatible recessed fasteners and nuts positioned on longer threaded studs

The Fixman FIX H0510M Deep Socket is designed for use with compatible 3/8 inch drive ratchets, handles and socket accessories. Its 17mm hex profile and extended deep-socket format provide additional reach compared with a standard socket, making it useful for compatible recessed fasteners and nuts fitted onto projecting threaded studs. The 3/8 inch drive format provides a practical balance of access, control and leverage for automotive, mechanical, assembly, maintenance and general workshop applications.

Deep 17mm socket for increased fastener access

A deep socket has an extended body that provides additional internal depth compared with a standard socket. This allows it to reach compatible recessed nuts and fasteners positioned further along threaded studs while still providing secure engagement with the matching external hex profile.

Extra Information

  • Always confirm that the fastener requires a 17mm socket before use.

Pro Tips

  • Use a deep socket where a standard socket cannot reach over a projecting threaded stud.
  • Clean dirt, rust or debris from the fastener before fitting the socket.
  • Make sure the socket sits fully over the hex head before turning.
  • Use a suitable extension for additional reach rather than operating the socket at an angle.
  • Store the socket in a labelled rail or organiser to make the 17mm size easy to identify.

  • Select a suitable 3/8 inch drive ratchet, handle or torque wrench.
