Fixman 10mm 1/4 Inch Drive Metric Deep Socket
At a Glance: 10mm deep 6-point socket with a 1/4 inch square drive
The Fixman 10mm Metric Deep Socket delivers the extra reach needed to access recessed fasteners and nuts fitted onto longer threaded studs. Manufactured from durable 50BV30 chrome vanadium steel, this professional hand socket combines dependable strength with a polished chrome finish for workshop-ready performance. Its 6-point profile provides secure contact with 10mm hex fasteners, while the compact 1/4 inch drive makes it ideal for automotive, mechanical, maintenance and assembly work.
The deep socket body reaches beyond surrounding components and accommodates protruding threaded studs, helping you tackle fasteners that a standard-depth socket may not reach.

Extra Information
- Confirm that the fastener is 10mm before applying force.
- Use only with compatible 1/4 inch square-drive ratchets, handles and extension bars.
- This is a metric socket and should not be substituted for a similar-looking imperial size.
- The deep profile is useful where excess thread prevents a standard socket from fully engaging the nut.
- This hand socket is not intended for use with impact wrenches or powered impact drivers.
Pro Tips
- Push the socket fully onto the fastener before applying torque to maximise contact and reduce the risk of rounding.
- Use a 1/4 inch extension bar when additional reach is required inside narrow or recessed spaces.
- Keep the socket aligned with the fastener and avoid applying heavy sideways pressure.
- Clean dirt and rust from the fastener before use to improve socket engagement.
- Apply penetrating lubricant to seized fasteners and allow it time to work before increasing force.
- Wipe the socket clean and dry after use before returning it to storage.
How to Use
- Confirm that the nut or bolt head is a compatible 10mm metric fastener.
- Inspect the socket, drive tool and fastener for wear or damage before use.
- Attach the socket securely to a compatible 1/4 inch square-drive ratchet, handle or extension bar.
- Place the socket fully over the fastener, keeping the tool square and properly aligned.
- Select the required ratchet direction when using a reversible ratchet.
- Apply smooth, controlled pressure to loosen or tighten the fastener.
- Remove the tool from the fastener, then wipe the socket clean and store it in a dry location.
