Fixman 1/4" Drive Deep Socket 5mm
At a Glance: 5mm metric deep socket with 1/4" drive for use with compatible ratchets, extensions and socket accessories
The Fixman FIX H0402M 1/4" drive deep socket is a practical socket accessory for tightening and loosening 5mm 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 1/4" drive ratchets, extensions and handles, it is a handy addition to workshop, automotive, maintenance, assembly and DIY toolkits.
The deep socket format helps reach fasteners positioned on longer threads or in recessed areas, while the 1/4" drive size keeps the setup compact and easy to control for smaller fastening tasks.

Extra Information
- Use only with compatible 1/4" drive tools and accessories.
- Always confirm the fastener size before use to avoid rounding or damaging the fastener.
- Make sure the socket is fully seated over the fastener before applying torque.
- 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 on small drive tools.
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 1/4" extension for extra reach in tight or awkward spaces.
- Store individual sockets on a socket rail so the 5mm does not disappear into the toolbox wilderness.
How to Use
- Confirm that the fastener is a 5mm metric nut, bolt or hex fastener.
- Attach the deep socket to a compatible 1/4" drive ratchet, handle or extension.
- Place the socket fully over the fastener.
- Keep the socket straight and aligned with the fastener.
- Turn clockwise to tighten or anti-clockwise to loosen.
- Use steady hand pressure and avoid forcing the socket if the fastener is stuck.
- Remove the socket after use and store it clean and dry.
Safety
- Wear eye protection when working in workshop, garage or repair environments.
- Use the correct socket size to avoid slipping, rounding fasteners or damaging the socket.
- Make sure the socket is fully seated before applying force.
- Do not use the socket as a punch, pry tool, chisel or lever.
