Fixman 1/4 Inch Drive E-Deep Socket E5
At a Glance: Deep E5 external star-profile socket with 1/4 inch square drive for reaching and turning compatible E5 fasteners in recessed or restricted-access applications
The Fixman FIX H1002M E-Deep Socket is designed for use with compatible E5 external star-profile fasteners and 1/4 inch drive ratchets, handles and socket accessories. Its extended deep-socket format provides additional reach compared with a standard E-socket, making it useful where compatible E5 fasteners are recessed or positioned in areas requiring greater socket depth. The compact 1/4 inch drive format makes it practical for automotive, mechanical, maintenance, assembly and general workshop applications.
An E-deep socket combines an external star-profile socket with an extended socket body. The E5 profile fits over a matching external star fastener, while the deeper design provides additional reach where a standard E-socket may not provide sufficient access.

- The extended socket body provides additional reach compared with a standard E-socket.
- Use only with compatible 1/4 inch square drive tools.
- Make sure the socket is fully seated over the fastener before applying force.
- For torque-critical applications, use the socket with a suitable calibrated torque wrench.
Pro Tips
- Use the deep E-socket where a standard E5 socket cannot reach the fastener adequately.
- Check the E-size carefully before applying force, as neighbouring E-socket sizes can appear similar.
- Clean dirt, corrosion or debris from the fastener profile before fitting the socket.
- Make sure the E5 profile is fully seated before turning the fastener.
- Keep the socket aligned with the fastener rather than applying force at an angle.
How to Use
- Confirm that the fastener has a compatible E5 external star profile.
- Select a suitable 1/4 inch drive ratchet, handle or torque wrench.
- Fit the E5 deep socket securely onto the 1/4 inch square drive.
- Position the socket fully over the external fastener head.
- Make sure the socket profile is correctly and fully engaged.
- Keep the socket aligned squarely with the fastener.
