Fixman 1/4 Inch Drive E-Socket 6 Point E5
At a Glance: E5 external star-profile socket with 6-point engagement and 1/4 inch square drive for tightening and loosening compatible E5 fasteners
The Fixman FIX H0702M E-Socket is designed for use with compatible E5 external star-profile fasteners and 1/4 inch drive ratchets, handles and socket accessories. Its 6-point E5 profile engages the matching external fastener head, providing a dedicated solution where a conventional hex socket is unsuitable. The compact 1/4 inch drive format makes it practical for automotive, mechanical, assembly, maintenance and general workshop applications involving compatible E-profile fasteners.
An E-socket is designed to fit over a matching external star-profile fastener rather than a conventional hex nut or bolt head. The E5 size must be correctly matched to the fastener to provide proper engagement and reduce the risk of slipping or damaging the fastener profile.
