At a Glance: 13mm deep 6-point socket with a 3/8 inch square drive
The Fixman 13mm Metric Deep Socket gives you the additional reach required for recessed fasteners and nuts positioned on extended threaded studs. Manufactured from durable 50BV30 chrome vanadium steel, this professional hand socket combines reliable strength with a polished chrome finish for dependable workshop performance. Its 6-point profile securely engages compatible 13mm fasteners, while the versatile 3/8 inch drive makes it an excellent choice for automotive repairs, mechanical maintenance, equipment servicing and general assembly work.
The deep socket body reaches past surrounding components and accommodates protruding threaded studs, providing reliable access where a standard-depth socket may be unable to engage the fastener fully.

Pro Tips
- Push the socket fully onto the fastener before applying torque to maximise contact and reduce the risk of rounding.
- Use a suitable 3/8 inch extension bar when the fastener is located deep inside an engine bay or machinery enclosure.
- Keep the socket square to the fastener and avoid applying excessive sideways pressure.
- Clean dirt, paint and corrosion from the fastener before use to improve socket engagement.
- Apply penetrating lubricant to seized fasteners and allow sufficient time for it 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 13mm metric fastener.
- Inspect the socket, drive tool and fastener for wear or damage before use.
- Attach the socket securely to a compatible 3/8 inch square-drive ratchet, handle or extension bar.
- Place the socket fully over the fastener, keeping the tool square and correctly aligned.
- Select the required ratchet direction when using a reversible ratchet.
- Apply smooth, controlled pressure to loosen or tighten the fastener.
